The Wolf Tribe of Medawewin was created in 1925 in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area council, at their summer encampment, Camp Medawewin. The camp was at Patterson Lake which was where the University of Michigan held it's "fresh air camp" immediately before the scout encampment. "Twenty three scouts won the camp emblem and formed the Wolf tribe of Medawewin". Apparently the camp emblem (honor camper award) became the society emblem. Camp Newkirk started in 1926, as a news article in 1928 states it is Newkirk's third season. An article exists from 1926 that says the camp will be at Medawewin again so there is some confusion within the articles unless there were two very small councils operating in that area and each had a camp going. The society under the Medawewin name probably only lasted until Newkirk started, but that is conjecture. A scouter who joined Munhacke OA 88 in 1937 said that he thought there was a "Tribe of Munhacke" before the OA started in 1936 at Camp Newkirk. Perhaps the Wolf Tribe became the "Wolf Tribe of Newkirk" when Newkirk opened or maybe it did become the Tribe of Munhacke. At this time, no one really knows.
