Native American Freemasonry –
When Masons first arrived on the American Continent, they were shocked to find that the Aboriginal people had many grips, signals, rituals, and even words that were familiar to Masonry. This led many to believe the natives had ties to our ancient Hebrew Brethren. In this lecture we explore this myth, among others, to understand what Masonry meant to the Native Americans.
