Charlyne asked if anyone knew anything about the Daughters of Pocahontas, so I ran my favorite meta-search engine, Webferret, and came up with many hits. It turns out the women's organization was founded in 1889 in Woburn, Mass. It was a sister org. to the Improved Order of Red Men (I am not making this up) which was one of those fraternal organizations that included Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, etc. I pulled this note off the Native Americans site: "In fact, some of the voluntary (i.e., nongovernmental, not-for-profit) organizations listed include groups established by whites for fraternal purpose and for appreciation of Indians and their heritage, such as the Improved Order of Red Men and its `ladies' auxiliary,' Daughters of Pocahontas, (which, until 1974, only white women could join)." Just a plug for Webferret, it finds what other meta search engines won't--and it keeps running in the background while you visit the hits. Also, you get a pop-up window for each hit with a preview, helping you weed out hits without going there. In fact, it's Webferret that led me to the Tri-Counties site! Great for genealogy--download it for free from webferret.com Cheers, Laura in NC
