Order Of Redmen on Parade in Williamsport, 1912
"The Improved Order of Red Men is a fraternal organization established in North America in 1834. It claims direct descent from the colonial era Sons of Liberty. Their rituals and regalia are modeled after those assumed by men of the era to be used by Native Americans."
The organization [or club] still exists today.
The Milton Historical Society hosted a display of Red Men items in 2022.
Miltonian, January 1929
Danville was Tribe #77
And that is the correct tense - "are". This fraternity still exists today. "The fraternity traces its origins back to 1765 and is descended from the Sons of Liberty. These patriots concealed their identities and worked "underground" to help establish freedom and liberty in the early Colonies. They patterned themselves after the great Iroquois Confederacy and its democratic governing body." http://www.redmen.org/redmen/info/
