Section Changes:
  • The only conclave for Section SR-6 was held in April, 1993. That summer, the section "was split into two sections [SR-6A and SR-6B] because of extraordinary driving distances."

  • In 1995, Section SR-3 was split into SR-3A and SR-3B. However, before this came into effect, the lodges that would form SR-3B (western Oklahoma and a portion of northern Texas) held a final SR-3 conclave. The lodges that became SR-3A (eastern Oklahoma and Arkansas) instead held a Section Leadership Conference that year. The first conclaves for these new sections didn't take place until 1996:

Dixie Fellowship Indian Seminars:

From 1977-1997, the Dixie Fellowship held a yearly Indian Seminar in addition to their section conclave. Information regarding the history of non-conclave setion events can be challenging to find, and so I refer to Rusty Riddle's excellent book, A Golden Legacy: 50th Anniversary of the Dixie Fellowships (1952-2002):

"In an effort to be in compliance with the national OA guidelines regarding Indian Affairs and to show proper respect to Native Americans in outfitting and dance; the Council of Chiefs also approved the start of the Section Indian Seminar. All of the Indian Affairs rules were updated and, with a few minor changes, these are the rules we follow today.

The Section Indian Seminars
The first Section Indian Seminar was held in 1977. Seminars were scheduled for each year and on a few occasions more than one was held in a calendar year. Then again, in some years they were scheduled but not held. This was certainly not due to a lack of interest but more likely due to a lack of promotion and communication. The seminars that were held were well attended, had knowledgeable trainers, excellent programs, great dancing and singing, and memorable Pow Wows. The seminars were set up on a host rotation schedule, just like the Dixie schedule, but this was not always followed. They were usually held in the late fall or early winter.

In 1994 it was renamed the Section Seminar and the last three years, 1995-1997, it was called the Section Retreat. Added to the program were advanced administrative training sessions for lodge officers, advisers and committee chairmen. The annual Council of Chiefs meeting was also moved to the Section Retreat.

The Section Indian Seminar/Section Retreats were discontinued after the 1997 Retreat. The reasons for this were never due to lack of interest or poor attendance. Instead, the reasons went along these lines: After the 1997 Dixie, Eswau Huppeday moved back into the Dixie Fellowship. Each year in January they hold an event called the Carolinas Indian Seminar. This event, which has been held for nearly two decades, is probably the best weekend training session in the nation on Indian Affairs. They have some of the most knowledgeable trainers from around the country teaching arrowmen outfitting, dancing, singing and crafts. Lodges from around the South and East, including most of the Dixie lodges, send their dance and sing teams to this event. In terms of Indian events; we already have the best Indian Affairs training being held within the Section so why try to repeat it?"
