The title of MASSASOIT is forever retired.  Henceforth, the title Massasoit rests with our Creator, the Almighty.  To wear or display three eagle feathers or more with red tips would be deemed unfitting.

 

The Ancient Lodge of Sachems are subject to all Council of Seven rulings.  Their titles, (pronunciations), and honoring headdress are as follows:

GRAND SACHEM (say’-chem) - Two Eagle Feathers with red tip.

SACHEM - One Eagle Feather with red tip

POWWAS (pow’-woss) - Two deer spikes with male and female feather centered.  A red and yellow feather below each spike.
