"I arrived in 1982, the lodge wasn't functioning, no advisor (just left), no real boy involvement. No ceremonies except folks in Korea and Philippines who were doing their own thing. The SE, Dick Weidman and I met, the day I arrived, said no one was interested in the OA, so we started a NEW lodge, not just a name change, but since the number remained the same folks recorded it as a name change. I convinced Dick to make a new, simple flap (the Ikuhnakasi supposedly meant "a gathering of nations in Tagalog, where the previous Lodge Advisor had been... and Dick didn't like the Hinode Goya "Rising Sun" and the implications of that). We looked up some names in the Lene Lanape Dictionary, and came up with Achpateuny, for East Wind; I wanted a simple flap that retained the dragon, and wanted the Silver color to represent Council Service."
--SGM Dan Coberly, 1st Achpateuny lodge adviser

• Fort Simcoe Area (Moskwa 301) and North Central Washington (Ump Quah 335) Councils merged to form Grand Columbia Council #614 in Union Gap, WA.

• Desert Trails (Pang 532) had earlier merged with San Diego County Council (Ashie 436) to become Desert Pacific Council #49 (Tiwahe 45), and supposedly a very small part went to California Inland Empire Council #45 (Cahuilla 127).
  Effective: 1992


• According to the Section W-4C website:
  "Things kept quiet until 1992-93 when huge changes took place. Pang 532 was split: the California half merged with Ashie 436 to form Tiwahe 45, while the Arizona portion of was absorbed into Wipala Wiki 432, and a very small part went to Cahuilla 127. It was also during this time that two of the three major councils in Arizona were talking about a merger. In 1993 it was made official that a new Grand Canyon Council was to be formed out of the old Grand Canyon and Theodore Roosevelt Councils. Also that January, Chee Dodge 503 and Wipala Wiki 432 followed suit and became a new and expanded Wipala Wiki. Since then, three of the six remaining lodges have been the membership of Section W-4C."
  However, based on section and lodge maps, I assert that Desert Pacific was not split until 2001, when the Arizona half of the council only then merged into Grand Canyon Council. This is when Tiwahe Lodge's Nianque Chapter became part of Wipala Wiki Lodge (see below). This was reflected when Desert-Pacific Council changed its name to the San Diego-Imperial Council.
  
  The ISCA OA Insignia record for Pang 532, as well as the previous Blue Book editions all state: "1992: Part of the lodge merged with Ashie 436 to form Tiwahe 45 and part was absorbed by Wipala Wiki 432." However, it does not explain what "part was absorbed by Wipala Wiki 432". Arapaho II and other sources do not mention any split, only explaining that Pang and Ashie merged to form Tiwahe. Early section maps indeed show that Tiwahe Lodge #45 prior to the mid-2000s did cover San Diego, Imperial counties in California, most of Yucca County and the southern portion of La Paz County in Arizona. Instead, I believe that these Blue Book entries have erroneously included the 2001 split as part of the 1992 merger.
  
  According to www.wipalawiki.org/predecessor-lodges:
  "The Desert Trails Council and the San Diego Council had merged to form the Desert Pacific Council.... The same re-organization of the Councils caused Elauwit and Nianque Chapters [of Pang Lodge #532] to merge with Ashie Lodge #436 [to form the new Tiwahe Lodge #45]. Memekis Chapter merged with Cahuilla Lodge, and then later with Nebagamon Lodge." However, it also does not explain what area the Memekis Chapter covered. It must have been a very small portion, as it doesn't show up on any map available.
  
  It continues: "The Nianque Chapter [Yucca County, AZ] was still supportive of the [Tiwahe] Lodge, even though they were the furthest from the Lodge activities. The Chapter typically had the largest percentage of participation out of all of the Chapters in Tiwahe Lodge. In 2001, the Nianque Chapter had separated from Tiwahe Lodge and merged with Wipala Wiki. The youth of the Chapter had felt that the Pang heritage should be remembered, and voted to change the Chapter name to Pang. Wipala Wiki Lodge had approved the change."

"In 1993 Lodge #537 was chartered with "No Lodge Name" and during the transition period, lodge flaps were issued that included the totems of both legacy lodges (complying with the "one lodge per council" rule but honoring the transition that was still taking place). The new territory spanned an 8 hour drive (border to border) and several meetings were held throughout the 4-county geographic area. Hundreds of hours were spent planning and organizing the merger, structure, and new by-laws with the final planning session held at Camp Masonite Navarro, in the California redwoods, starting a tradition of lodge fellowship weekends and bringing youth together to learn that the lodge becomes stronger when the bonds of brotherhood are shared."
