History

in 1962, the lodge issued a solid embroidered flap to depict the history of their area, and their lodge totem. The path cutting through the mountains and the covered wagon is symbolic of the pioneer's trek weatward via the Cumberland Gap (near middlesboro). The bear (ursa major) represents Misha Mokwa, the bear was slain by Mudjeokeewis, the father of Hiawatha from "The Song of Hiawatha" by Longfellow. About 200 made.
