Greetings From YourGreat Incohonee
As your Great Incohonee I would like to thank all The Improved order of Redman and Degree of Pocahontas for the hospitality extended to my wife and me, all the mem-bers that traveled to the diff erent states and also the Past Great Sachems and Past Great Pocahontas’ that traveled as my Deputy Great Incohonees.
My fi rst year traveling started in the month of October, 2018 to the Great Councils of Massachusetts, Delaware and Maine. In 2019 I traveled to the Great Council sessions of Maryland, Texas, Alaska, California, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana. I also went back to Massachusetts and Delaware.
In 2019 I attended Ocklokonee Tribe #212’s, Pennsylvania, Wild Game Night and Boot Strap, Delaware’s Annual Car Show for the Alzheimer’s Association, the Great Chief of Records and Great Keeper of Records seminar in Indiana as well as the Great Council of Indiana’s session. I also attended all Great Chiefs board meetings in 2019.
Our new Chairman of Committee on Promotional Development is Great Junior Saga-more Tim Avery. This committee is trying some new ideas, but they cannot be successful without the help of all Red Men and Degree of Pocahontas members.
Freedoms Foundation
I would like to thank Marie Robinson and the Freedoms Foundation Committee for the work they put in all year to make this program successful. The weekend started on a Friday, after check- in and a meet and greet with refreshments and snacks. On Saturday we traveled to the Faith of Our Father’s Chapel at Valley Forge. We held the memorial service for our brothers and sisters who have passed during the past year. We talked with the representative of the chapel about their diff erent activities at the chapel during the year. Donations were made towards the restoration of the chapel. Our goal for the com-ing year is to reach and surpass our goal of $20.000 for the new roof and other repairs. I would like to ask any brother and sister who has not been to Valley Forge to try and make the attendance in 2020 even greater.
Red Men’s Day at Arlington
I would like to thank George and Angela Rowe for their full dedication to making Red Men’s Day at Arlington a great success through the years. Thank you for a great job! I would also like to thank the tribes and councils of Virginia for their support and attendance. Also, thank you to all the members who have traveled to Arlington to make it a success-

Greetings,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the members who have assisted and supported the offi ce during my term as your Great Chief of Records of the Great Council of the United States Improved Order of Red Men. The offi ce has made many strides forward to bring the organization into the 21st century. Through new advances in technology, reconfi guration of procedures in the offi ce to make it easier for our Great Chiefs of Records and Great Keepers of Records to perform their duties and faster responses to inquiries. Through our new website we have put many of the necessary tools used by these offi cers at their fi ngertips 24-7. Now we just need them to use the resources we have provided and share them with the membership and their successors.
Through the sixteen years I have worked in the offi ce I have seen many changes, some good, some not so good. I have watched as the membership and numbers of units throughout the nation has decreased, not that many have tried to stop this from happening. I have seen many good members pass on, now to look down upon us to see where we will go from here and many members we have turned away because we are afraid of change.
I wish I had all the answers to solve the many problems that face our organization, but I do not. I do know that if we are not willing to work as one, we will only become weak and shattered. Somehow, we need to fi nd the way to reignite the passion and respect that we all felt for the organization in years passed and show the population that we are an organization of people who care for each other. That we care for the many charitable organizations that we have dedicated so much time and eff ort to raising funds to make life easier for others. That we care for this nation and all the traditions, history and changes that make life better for everyone. That we honor and respect the many people who have dedicated their lives and time to keeping this organization in existence. We need to come out of the dark and into the light and spread through social media that our organization is still alive and desirable to our membership and to the hundreds of thousands of people out there that are looking for a group that feels the way we do. We need the youth of the nation to see that though our organization has been thought of as an old relic it is a place to learn and grow, through the examples of the many young members that have led us into this century.
I have spent my whole life being associated with this organization and have made many friends that have become family to me. Everyone out there deserves to experience what I have and to have a family as grand as this organization has become to me.
Brad Buchanan, GCR GCUS

National Pocahontas
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. It’s hard to believe we are now writing 2020. Where did 2019 go?!
I look back on 2019 with joy and sadness. Since becoming National Pocahontas, I have been able to travel to Great Council Sessions in Massachusetts, Maine, Virginia, Mary-land, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio, California, Delaware, and Indiana. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome I received and the hand of friendship that was extended. I made new friends and renewed old ones. My goal is to attend all Great Council Sessions at least once during my term. I am looking forward to including Minnesota and New York in my travels this year
In May I attended Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to honor our deceased members. As always PGP Marie Robinson, PGS Paul Resssel, and their committee did a wonderful job. It was a fun weekend even though I didn’t win anything on the Kentucky Derby.
One of the highlights of 2019 was the honor of laying the wreath on the Tomb of the Un-known Soldier. As I walked down the steps, I had chills. I am looking forward to doing it again this year. Special thanks to George and Angie Rowe for doing an awesome job on Redmen’s Day at Arlington I know 2020 is your last year. Now you will be able to enjoy the event, especially playing bingo on Friday night.
The Great Chiefs and Keeper of Records meeting was held in Richmond, Indiana last year. Great Chief of Records GCUS Brad and Aaron did a great job of presenting the information. It was a challenge to make sure everything that was needed made it to In-diana from Texas. I commend all the Great Chiefs and Keepers of Records for the work they do for our order.
2019 also brought heartbreak. I lost two dear friends, PGP JoEllen Swartz passed away in November and PGP Wanda Magaha in December. Both ladies were assets to our order. They will be missed.
As part of my membership campaign I am giving a butterfl y pin made by NKW Etta Lewis to each sponsor and new or reinstated member. It has been a challenge to fi gure out how to send them. In December I sent out the fi rst shipment. I hope to have the rest

ful weekend. I want to thank Brothers Ralph McCabe, Donald Wolhensberger and Russell Thatcher for their assistance in the ceremony of the Laying of the Wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Membership
We have had a nice showing of new members in a few tribes and councils in 2019. The tribes and councils who are experiencing a decline in membership, please call upon the national Board of Great Chiefs and National Degree of Pocahontas for any support or suggestions for building new membership.
In closing, I would like to mention, with deepest sorrow to all the families of our broth-ers and sisters we have lost this year, they will be greatly missed. Yours in Freedom, Friendship and Charity,
Eugene TruaxGreat Incohonee

sent out in January There are sponsors that I need addresses for so I will be reaching out to the Great Keepers of Records for help.
The National COPD Committee has printed new pamphlets about our order and distributed them to the Great Chiefs and Keepers of Records in each state. Please send them to your Chiefs and Keepers of Records so they can be utilized. This committee is working hard on new ways to promote our order. The National Degree of Pocahontas has been given funds to promote the order. We hope to use these funds to encourage Past Pocahontas to join their Great Councils. We do not want to lose any more Great Councils.
I would like to thank Great Incahonee Gene Truax and his wife Margo for the good times we had in 2019 as we traveled together. I look forward to our adventures this year.
To the IORM National Board Great Chiefs thank you for including the National DOP in your meetings and sharing your ideas to improve our order. By working together, we will succeed.
Thank you to my Board for your support during this past year. I look forward to seeing everyone as our travels start this new year
Wishing everyone a joyous and harmonious 2020.
Yours in Freedom, Friendship & Charity,

Guidelines
For submitting pictures
to the Red Men Magazine
1. Pictures cut from newspapers or magazines do not reproduce well. Try to get the original picture or digital fi le if possible.
2. Pictures should not be blurry or dark. Sometimes they can be lightened at the production state, but often they are just too bad to get detail. Take pictures close to your subject and avoid those across the room shots, which make it had to identify your subject.
3. Pictures taken with digital cameras: set the resolution to the maximum setting. Pictures that are taken at lower resolutions get wormy lines in them and pixilated edges, as well as loss of detail.
4. If scanning professionally printed pictures, set your scanner resolution to at least 300 dpi and save the result-ing fi le as a .jpg or .pdf fi le.
5. Submitting pictures: digital pictures (scans or digital camera fi les) can be put on a disk and sent in. A printed copy (laser or inkjet) should be sent with the digital fi les, marked clearly that these are for reference only, that fi les are attached and identify the picture to the fi le name on the disk. Pictures can be e-mailed to [email protected].
6. Any copy that accompanies the pictures should be sent with the pictures (stories, photo captions, etc.) and so labeled. Be sure to identify the people in the pictures. You may know who they are, but someone else may not recognize them.
7. Deadlines for submissions to the Red Men Magazine will always be December 31st of each year.
