Papago Lodge Chapters
| Oriabi
Chapter |
 |
The Oraibi Chapter serves the Old Pueblo District of the
Catalina Council. This has traditionally included the northwest side of Tucson, north of
Broadway and west of Campbell. Since 1986, however, with the mergers with Copper District,
San Xavier District, and Organ Pipe District, Old Pueblo has included everything from
Kearny to Green Valley, and out to Sells on the Tohono O'Odham Reservation. After a small
start in the 1960's, the District has regularly had between 20 and 30 Troops. In
response to the Lodge directive in 1976, the Chapter chose the Hopi name Oraibi (when
correctly pronounced it has four syllables). Oraibi was chosen as the Chapter name because
it is the oldest Pueblo in the Hopi nation, occupied since 1020 A.D. (the longest
continuous occupancy in the Western Hemisphere). In the Hopi language Oraibi means
"the place that was solidified when the Earth was first formed."
The Oraibi Chapter meets the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm at Christ the King
Church, 2800 W. Ina Road, Tucson. |
