Lodge History
Mikanakawa Lodge 101 was founded in 1937 at Camp Wisdom. The Owl was adopted as our totem. In 1994, Okiciyapi Lodge 56 merged with Mikanakawa, forming one lodge. Mikanakawa now has two totems, the Owl and the Thunderbird. At over 3300 members, Mikanakawa Lodge is one of the largest lodges in the country.
