\"Discovery\"<\/a>Ray Gould brings word of a new discovery from Otahnagon Lodge #172 in the Binghamton, NY Area. The Blue Book lists six known chapters for Lodge #172, two of which, Konoh and Ches Ches Nopa, were known to have issued neckerchiefs. It now appears a third chapter Ochenang also issued a neckerchief as a means of chapter identification.<\/p>\n

While he has not been able to confirm this issue with anyone from the lodge yet; the design contains all of the elements you would expect from a Otahnagon Chapter issue. The Lodge number (but not the name), WWW, Red Arrow and the chapter name (and the spelling matches the ‘known’ chapter name).<\/p>\n

You can see it below.<\/p>\n

In the Oneida dialect written Ochenang, and meaning ball thistles. The place was afterward called Chenango Point, and is now Binghamton. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Ball Thistle appears to be the plant design on the neckerchief.<\/p>\n

Tentatively at least, the Blue Book Listing would be:
\nOtahnagon\tOchenang\tN1\t\t–\t–\tBLK\tRED\t–\tRED WWW, 172 Ball Thistle design<\/p>\n
