Lodge Details
Ma-Nu Lodge No. 133 was originally charted to the Central Oklahoma Area Council, Region 9 on August 20, 1938. One year later the Central Oklahoma Area Council rechartered as Last Frontier Council. This makes Ma-Nu Lodge one year older than Last Frontier Council. Over the next few decades there would be several mergers and reorganizations within the structure of both the Lodge and the Council. A large, active lodge, it is a sectional power which has had periods of national dominance in Native American dance and outfit competitions. Ma-Nu has had a strong ceremonies program frequently conducting a Brotherhood Walk as part of the sectional conclave. All of Oklahoma's lodges have one strong common characteristic -- when they do Indian lore, they do it right. And because many of their adult leaders and youth members are Native American, the lodges and councils have strong ties and support with the tribes located across the state. They learn the societal customs, the taboos of the tribes and the right way to do things. As a result, Oklahoma's OA members are welcomed around the drum and in the dance ring. For they know the difference between "a costume" and "an outfit". And if you dance or drum, you should know the difference too. As the area of the lodge expanded, the lodge began to need another form of organization. In 1963, Ma-Nu lodge set up Chapters with borders corresponding to the districts established by the Council. In 1950 Canadian Valley Council merged with Last Frontier Council and Shawnee Lodge 192 became part of Ma-Nu Lodge 133. Again in 1996 Black Beaver Council merged with Last Frontier Council and two years later Sekettummaqua Lodge 281 completed its merger with Ma-Nu bringing the number of members to near 1700 and the total number of Chapters to 10.
