Audrey have befriended and mentored many of us in the Valley of Canton and have
been  an invaluable source of inspiration in our search for further light
in Masonry. For many years they have generously supported the Children’s
Dyslexia Center and attended  almost every event sponsored by the Valley
of Canton.  Until recently Don and Audrey divided their time between homes
in Ohio and Florida but they are now permanent  residents of the Sunshine

them the very best in the years to come.

Around the year of 1948 there was a group of Oklahoma Indians that got together to put on some Masonic Degree work.  It was very well received by those who witnessed the effort.  In 1950 , part of the 1948 group decided to form the Oklahoma Masonic Indian Degree Team.  Every year since, the Team has traveled all over the

U.S. and Europe to put on the Master Mason Degree. 

 The Native American Nations represented on the team are Apache, Choctaw,
Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, Keetoowah, Oneida, Ottawa, Quapaw, Shawnee.  In
the past members have been Delaware, Kaw, Kiowa, Pawnee and Ponca.

This is ”The oldest Degree Team” in existence today, and mostly that is because as a
Team the group has never stopped or had a break since inception ­over fifty years ago.  The OMIDT have raised over 900 to the Master Mason Degree.  THEY ARE the only known Indian Degree Team.
