Order of the Arrow Lodge Information

Tisquantum Lodge #164, Section NE-1B

This OA Lodge was formed in 1969 from a merger of Manomet Lodge 164 and Tisquantum Lodge 518. The lodge is named after a famous Native American "Tisquantum" who was called "Squanto" by the Pilgrims. He was a member of the Patuxet Tribe in Massachusetts. In 1620 Tisquantum became friends with the Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony and taught them how to live off the land as his people did. If it were not for him the Pilgrims would have surely parished during those early hash winters. Tisquantum died in November of 1622 from a fever.
