Colonneh Lodge

The purpose of the Ralph Rivera Memorial Native American Culture Award is to honor the memory of our Brother Ralph Rivera who was instrumental in the preservation of the Native American culture in Colonneh Lodge by teaching, leading, and counseling young men in dancing, drumming and singing, team dance and ceremonial participation.  This award is given annually to the Chapter in Colonneh Lodge that best works to preserve the culture of the Native Americans by participation in all facets of the Indian Lore and ceremonial programs of Colonneh Lodge.
