- History
Larry Lane noticed that a lot of lodges had something "cool" for the lodge chiefs to wear and pass down chief to chief. Jim Pifer is a prolific and very skilled beadworker from South Carolina. Over the years Jim has made a number of items to trade and give as gifts. Larry commissioned him to create a unique pie. The concept was taken from the origin story of the totem. One night at dusk the earliest members of the lodge were meeting to decide the name and totem of the lodge. When they noticed the nighthawks were swooping down over the lake catching mosquitos. They decided to use the nighthawk paired with the arrow and crescent moon as the totem of the lodge. So, a nighthawk over the OA lake seemed a fitting design and to do so as a pie on the neckerchief would make it unique and fitting for the lodge chief.
After the beadwork was done a vintage neckerchief was sourced and repurposed. At the winter banquet in 2021 Larry placed the neckerchief on permanent loan to the lodge and it started its journey of being passed from chief to chief.
