This should be removed. It has Indigenous elements that the Order no longer uses or condones. If this is actually 2017 face painting was banned long before this. This video gives a distorted view of the Order of the Arrow.

We live on the road of that school, The tornado was right across the street from us and my mom was standing outside, I was 6 or 7 at the time and we literally saw it behind our Neighbors house, Jump and hit the school. Terrifying experience

I LOVE THIS!!!!

Holy Crap I'm in this I forgot lol

I was in the order of the arrow in Pico Rivera 1980. Our Chief was Tom Price the third. 100% Native American

Remembering what the Revolutionary War was all about

if you think the offended are just 'whiners' 'sjws' or 'oversensitive' lemme give ya an idea of how its disrespectful: imagine some non-catholics doing their own 'version' of the holy mass complete w robes, altar and.. instead of hosts and wine, they serve cookies n punch

I'm a pretty conservative white guy, but, yeah, that is some pretty hamfisted cultural appropriation going on there. Time for a change. There is plenty of room for calling out respect for native American tradition without playing "Indian Chief, Woowoowoowooo"

I’m surprised this lodge is still doing face paint. Thats not okay! That is a national OA policy. Face paint is not allowed! If national catches wind of this they can pull your charter and pull the plug on your lodge.

Sorry bout what happened

This has got to be racist

Jou mean recEives the "Order Of The Almost Got Grade 5 Spelling Down" award???

SPIRITUAL CEREMONIES It is not possible to meaningfully preserve any tradition, rite, ritual or ceremony that is not visible to the human eye, audible to the human ear, and understandable based on personal, direct experience, especially spiritual experiences. https ://www .amazon .com/Black-Elk-Speaks-John-Neihardt/dp/0803283911/ Black Elk Speaks: The Complete Edition - March 1, 2014 by John G. Neihardt Whether appreciated as the poignant tale of a Lakota life, as a history of a Native nation, or as an enduring spiritual testament, Black Elk Speaks is unforgettable. https ://www .amazon .com /Sacred-Pipe-Account-Civilization-American/dp/0806121246/ The Sacred Pipe: Black Elk’s Account of the Seven Rites of the Oglala Sioux (Volume 36) (The Civilization of the American Indian Series) Later Printing Edition by Joseph Epes Brown Black Elk describes and discusses the details and meanings of the seven rites, which were disclosed, one by one, to the Sioux through visions. He takes the reader through the sun dance, the purification rite, the "keeping of the soul," and other rites, showing how the Sioux have come to terms with God and nature and their fellow men through a rare spirit of sacrifice and determination. The wakan Mysteries of the Siouan peoples have been a subject of interest and study by explorers and scholars from the period of earliest contact between whites and Indians in North America, but Black Elk's account is without doubt the most highly developed on this religion and cosmography. Neither Black Elk nor any other Native Indian spiritual leader will reveal what the spiritual leaders of the Sioux and other Native Indian tribes know from their personal, direct experience, which cannot be expressed in any language. http ://www .amazon .com /Art-Magic-Emma-Hardinge-Britten/dp/1463706316 Art Magic, or Mundane, Sub-Mundane and Super-Mundane Spiritism, 1876, editor, Emma Harninge Britten http ://www .spiritarchive .org /uploads/1/2/4/7/12470836/emma_hardinge_britten__-art_magic-_--or_mundane_sub-mundane_and_super-mundane_spiritism_-_1876_-_492pp_miklu_betra_eintak-artmagicormudane00brit_bw.pdf [Download] Art Magic; or, Mundane, Sub-Mundane and Super-Mundane Spiritism, 1876, editor, Emma Harninge Britten A Treatise in Three Parts and Twenty-Three Sections: Descriptive of Art Magic, Spiritism, the Different Orders of Spirits in the Universe Known to Be Related to, or in Communication with Man; Together with Directions for Invoking, Controlling, and Discharging Spirits, and the Uses and Abuses, Dangers and Possibilities of Magical Art.

Published by the Author at New York, America, 1876. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1876, by William Britten, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington, D.C. Excerpts: Page 166 > “the laying on of hands” … the infusion of the vital forces of magnetic the infusion of the Astral fluid (vital forces) of one organism into another Page 171 > Narcotics … the power of Will … Pages 329-330 > The Red Indians of North America are especially distinguished for guardianship of this character. Before entering upon the duties of leadership to their tribes, their young men retire into the wilderness to fast and pray. For the space of nine days the bravest and best of these wild races have been accustomed thus to await in solemn preparation, the visits of their tutelary spirits, and the direction of their future path in life. The author has conversed with many of the ancient men of these Indian tribes, and they have invariably confirmed the report which all tradition alleges namely; that the spirits who appear to the young men during, or after the probationary days of their long fast, are seldom human, but though they communicate after the fashion of human speech, or else infuse thoughts into the mind by the process of inspiration, their forms are generally those of birds, beasts, or some member of the lower kingdoms. During several of their ceremonial rites at which the author has been present, their “Jokassids” or Prophets have succeeded in summoning around them powerful spirits who could play instruments, shake their lodges, beat drums, and create the wildest clamor of unearthly voices; and in all such scenes the spiritual performers were scarcely ever seen by clairvoyants, or known by mediums, to wear a human form. … but still these children of the forest see them, hear their voices, and hold inspirational communion with them, not as with the spirits of their friends and kindred, whom they also profess to see and converse with, but as tutelary spirits-“spirits of nature”-or as we prefer to call them, Elementaries.

I'm sharing this so the Kiowas can see this, I'm sure you will be found!

This is so ridiculous, the songs this drum is singing are Kiowa songs and I know the Kiowas would never give permission to boy scouts, this has nothing to do with honoring any Native American tribes, we keep the whites out of our traditions!

What the fuck is this horse shit?

Shame! Shame! Shame! *Rings bell* cmon smarten up. this kind of activity is never ok. Its appropriation not honoring. Can keep telling yourself that but let's see yall do do blackface and dance around honoring African Americans down there. Im sure that go over well in the city. So many more examples but why bother? Also if a "tribe" gave permission it's sad....colonized they are...assimilation at its finest.

Fucking disgusting, horrifying and a throwback to Hitler's Youth (which, FYI, were created as a direct inspiration *from* the BSA). This is some Nazi shit.

oh my fuck. This is disgusting. This is pure cultural appropriation and the most racist shit I have ever seen!

The front guy with red shorts is in my troop

You billy goat.👌

I was there!WiShInG i WaSnT

A FEDERAL NATIVE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS LAW WILL MAKE ALL THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY ILLEGAL!! and it's Coming!! NATIVE INDEPENDENCE!!!!

Lol I’m in this it’s my school

Is this boonville missouri?

“Be Prepared “

I'm surprised the indigenous aren't whining and protesting this. Seems they and others are always finding something new to be offended by.

I’m in middle school right now, but I remember this. We had to learn *every word* to her songs.

I go to that church XD

Wtf white culture stealing again wtf

Could you come to St.Damian elementary school in oak forest Illinois

I am in this play

love it

Beautiful 💖💖

I go to fall creek school

lmfao almost none of this has anything to do with actual Native American traditions. How about bringing in some real Natives to share and teach about their cultures? without actual Native input it's not authentic or real and much of that is down right offensive.

It was a wonderful day on the river...
