    WE ARE BROTHERS The History of Echockotee Lodge #200 Est. 1941 WWW 76th Anniversary Edition First a Spark, then a Flame As one of the four official experimental programs in the early years of the Boy Scouts of America, the Order of the Arrow’s growth was due to the word-of-mouth advertising between council executives, seeing its successes and bringing the Order into their own programs. This was at a time when each of the experimental programs were to grow at their own natural pace, and it was only through personal contact and observation could the Order grow. In February of 1937, in Columbia, South Carolina, a meeting of the executives of the old Region Six was held. These leaders, coming from North and South Carolina, Georgia, most of Florida, parts of Alabama, and the Panama Canal Zone, met with members of the National Program staff, including E. Urner Goodman, the founder of the Order of the Arrow. In his capacity of Director of Program, for the BSA, he was in a position to offer his expert advice on the Order and its potential in camp and council activities. In the ten years following that meeting, 34 of the 40 lodges in Region Six were chartered by the National office. Seeds planted in that meeting were tended by nearby executives familiar with the benefits brought by the Order, and from those leaders of nearby lodges came the establishment of other lodges; such was the case with the establishment of Echockotee Lodge 200. Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has maintained a high profile in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) --Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian History; *Black History; *Colonial History (United States); Higher Education; *Indigenous Populations; Secondary Education; *Slavery; State History IDENTIFIERS *Florida ABSTRACT The history of the lives of non-white peoples in the United States largely has been neglected although the Spanish bureaucrats kept meticulous records of the Spanish Mission period in Florida. These records represent an important source for the cultural history of these groups and offer new perspectives on the tri-racial nature of frontier society. Africans as well as Indians played significant roles in Spain's settlement of the Americas. On arrival in Florida the Africans ran away from the," captors to Indian villages. The Spanish, perceiving an alliance of non-white groups, sought to separate them, and passed special legislation forbidding living or trading between the two groups. There were continuous episodes of violence by the Indians who resisted Spanish labor and tribute demands, efforts to convert them, and changes in their social practices. Villages were reduced to mission sites where they could more readily supply the Spaniards with food and labor. Indian and black surrogates were used to fight the English and helped build the massive stone fort at St. Augustine. The end of the Spanish Mission system came with the war of 1700, English forces from the Carolinas raided mission sites killing thousands of Indians and taking many into slavery.

They will seek to obtain for this purpose unpublished journals or corre- spondence containing matter worthy of record, and which may not properly be included in the Historical Collections or Documentary Histories of the several States.

  • Where Have All the Indians Gone? Native American Eastern Seaboard Dispersal, Genealogy and DNA in Relation to Sir Walter Raleigh’S Lost Colony of Roanoke
    Where Have All the Indians Gone? Native American Eastern Seaboard Dispersal, Genealogy and DNA in Relation to Sir Walter Raleigh’s Lost Colony of Roanoke. Roberta Estes Copyright 2009, all rights reserved, submitted for publication [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract Within genealogy circles, family stories of Native American1 heritage exist in many families whose American ancestry is rooted in Colonial America and traverses Appalachia. The task of finding these ancestors either genealogically or using genetic genealogy is challenging. With the advent of DNA testing, surname and other special interest projects2, tools now exist to facilitate grouping participants in a way that allows one to view populations in historical fashions. This paper references and uses data from several of these public projects, but particularly the Melungeon, Lumbee, Waccamaw, North Carolina Roots and Lost Colony projects3. The Lumbee have long claimed descent from the Lost Colony via their oral history4. The Lumbee DNA Project shows significantly less Native American ancestry than would be expected with 96% European or African Y chromosomal DNA. The Melungeons, long held to be mixed European, African and Native show only one ancestral family with Native DNA5. Clearly more testing would be advantageous in all of these projects. This phenomenon is not limited to these groups, and has been reported by other researchers such as Bolnick (et al, 2006) where she reports finding in 16 Native American populations with northeast or southeast roots that 47% of the families who believe themselves to be full blooded or no less than 75% Native with no paternal European admixture find themselves carrying European or African y-line DNA.
