It is important to stress the true significa nce of this phase of O'A Membership. First of all, we should emphasize that Brotherhood membership carries no degree of rank, status or special privilege within the Lodge. No special meetings other than planning sessions for Brotherhood Ceremony are held. Instead "Brotherhood is an opportun ity for members to evaluate their past contribut ions to Scouting and the Lodge (and their Unit) and to reaffirm their belief in the high purpose of the Order. The Ceremony is intended as a source of inspirati on, motivatin g members to render even greater service to Scouting through the Order of the Arrow." We are sure that the new Brotherhood Members will live up to these ideals. New Brotherhood Members are: Kenneth D. Walpole Michael N. Collins Donald J. Cox, Jr. William H. Ewing, Jr. Thomas M. Ezzell Christoph er H. Williams Troop 15 Troop 48 Troop 29 Troop 30 Troop 42 Post 42 Marvin T. Fleet Harry Friedman William M. Marking Barry Niell Max B.

The reasons are many. Somet:lmes it is because of jealousy ·where the non-Indian Groups have better cos·~umdmg -·or put on a better show. Sometimes it is because a non-Indian group accepts a paid show that ~ight have gone to Indians were there no white groups around. Many Indian people rely upon a limited number of paid dance programs to supplement their incomes and so t.his is often a legitimate gripe. The most common form of criticism however, is that .the Indian resents anyone making a mockery of his religion. This is the point we would like to discuss here. I Your editor has had the opportunity to watch a goodly number of non-Indian dance programs and has also enjoyed the opportunity to .discuss these with Indians. They usually have something like this to say; "Why are these white boys allowed to perform the Ghost Dance when we are not allowed to perform it ourselves? 11 11 How would -t hey like it if we made similiar mockery of one of their Church services?" You will have to admit they have a good point here, and I 1ve found that most white groups would not consciously offend any Indian religion. However, most of the many white groups around the country are guilty of this type of sacrilege in one form or another and the reason ~s usually a lack of knowledge of just what they can and can not do. The NAIDA group has a clause in their constitution which reads as follows: "Dances, songs or ceremonies, which are part of a living religion may not be performed in public. 11 and also, 11Any tri.p al dance, which has been performed at a public performance by Indians in good standing in that tribe will be considered unrestricted. 11 We have here then the answer as to just what you can do. If a dance has been performed at the Gallup Ceremonials or at Flagstaff or Sheridan, Anadarko or any one of the ~h&»major ceremonials then the chance is good that this i& not a religious dance and you are free to perform it in your own group. Be careful here because sometimes °Indians who have lost favor with their own tribe will perfonn, for money, otherwise sacred as in the case of the Hopi opera mentioned in a previous isaue. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
