A New Lodge is Born

Earlier this evening, Ohkwaliha·Ká Lodge #34 was officially announced as the name of the merged lodge of Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34 and Onterorous Lodge #402. This announcement took place during the first general meeting of the new lodge.
Ohkwaliha·Ká means bear clan in the language of the Oneida Indian Nation. The black bear has been selected as the totem of the new lodge. The election of lodge officers also took place.

Below, you will find key facts about our new lodge, the names of our first class of officers and other information. Welcome to our newfound brotherhood.

If you have any questions about the new lodge please contact lodge adviser Helen Van Houten at adviser@oalodge34.org.
