History

This patch has traditionally been interpreted as a chapter patch for either Nitapokaiyo Lodge (390A) or Amangi Mos Lodge (390B) based on the mountains (for Montana), the number 390 (for the lodge), and for the young warrior with a headdress with vertical feathers, typical of some Blackfeet warriors. Documentary evidence suggests that the Yellowstone Valley Council operated with three districts or service areas, named unimaginatively as Eastern (based out of Miles City), Central (based out of Billings) and Western (based out of Bozeman) and that the chapters used the District names. Other possibilities for the Oni-De-Sa-Nan-Ca patch may be a very early or late chapter name, or a name used for another purpose, such as for a dance team, as these existed in other Montana councils and lodges. We are seeking more information. Please contact the Apoxky Aio Lodge if you have additional knowledge of the patch or the chapters of Nitapokaiyo or Amangi Mos lodges.
