 French Creek s6  |
Langundowi Lodge #46 was founded in 1972 and is chartered to the French Creek Council in Erie, PA. Langundowi Lodge was formed when Eriez Lodge #46 merged with Hoh-Squa-Sa-Gah-Da Lodge #251 and Skanondo Inyan Lodge #256. |
 |
The lodge totem is based upon the legend of the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy. It describes how a tall pine tree was taken out of the ground in the Onondaga village while the chiefs of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca tribes threw all of their weapons into the hole. The tree was then replaced and became known as the Peace Tree, which was said to have the Five Nations as its roots and an eagle perched in its upper branches watching for anyone who would disturb the peace. |
 Langundowi s1, FF 1973-76 |
The FIRST issue was a fully embroidered flap that had a dark blue solid background and a white rolled-edge border. The Great Tree of Peace totem was centered, with a light blue creek running diagonally behind it. The words "LANGUNDOWI LODGE" were stitched in yellow across the top, with a large "46" in yellow on the right side. "wWw" (monogram style) was stitched in large red letters on the left side and two red arrows along the bottom pointing away from the base of the totem. Was restricted to three-per-life: two at Ordeal, and one at Brotherhood. | |
 Langundowi f1 1976-77 |
The SECOND issue was not fully embroidered, and had a light blue twill background with purple mountains capped in white. A major change was made in the totem design, in which the pine tree was stitched in white, and the eagle and creek were larger and more detailed. "LANGUNDOWI" was stitched in yellow across the top, with "wWw" in small red letters on the left, and "46" in yellow letters on the left side. | |
 Langundowi f2, TL 1978-80 |
The THIRD issue was not fully embroidered, and had a purple rolled-edge border and a light blue twill left background. The totem was more closely patterned after the original Iroquois Tree of Peace design, with a larger green pine tree, smaller stylized eagle, and no creek. Yellow fleur-de-lis stitched in upper right corner. | |
 Langundowi f3, NT 1979-80 |
Identified by The Blue Book as a different issue, this patch is essentially the same as the THIRD issue, but has a no twill background. | |
 Lodge 46 s2, 50th Anniv. 1979 |
In 1979, a special fully embroidered patch was issued to honor the 50th Anniversary of Lodge #46. It had the same design as the THIRD issue, except that all yellow was stitched with gold metallic thread, and had a large gold "50" in the upper left corner. Only 400 were issued. | |
 Langundowi c1 1988 |
In 1988, a special chenille flap was issued in a limited edition of 72 patches that were individually numbered, with No. 46, shown here, being kept with the lodge archives. | |
 Langundowi s3 1981-93 |
The FOURTH issue has the same design as the THIRD issue, only that it is fully embroidered and has a plastic back. Was restricted to one per lodge event and with dues payment (4/year). This flap was issued for over eleven years before the S4 first appeared in 1993. | |
 Langundowi s4, CD 1993-present |
The same design as the FOURTH issue, this version is distinguished by computer designed stitching and tags between the "UN". Current flaps are restricted to active dues-paying members, who may purchase one per lodge event and when paying dues (4/year). | |
 Langundowi s5 2002 |
Issued at the January 2002 Winter Conclave, the ghost flap in forest green was the first new lodge issue in over twenty years. Proceeds from the sale of the this issue were utilized to offset costs for the hosting of the 2002 Section NE-3A Conclave at Custaloga Town SR. Attendees of the Winter Conclave were allowed to purchase up to 5 flaps. Only 1,000 were distributed. | |
 Langundowi s6 2002 NOAC/Section set [*tr] |

Each patch in the set is identical except for the Lodge name and number. The set was created by the Section and distributed by the Lodge. Only a limited number of these flap sets exist. |
