in the Red Men News, the follow
ing Brothers joined the rest of the
Tribe in painting are: Collector of
Wampum Marvel West; First San

painting as the Great Sacnem of
Delaware, Marvin Lightcap being a
member of Sakamis Tribe, had
some entertainment for the Tribe
which was enjoyed very much.
The Tribe is doing a wonderful
job on the hall and some of the
Brothers are putting lot of their
time working on it.
