A chapter represents a local area within our lodge. Most chapters are organized by district and have officers and advisers just like Cahuilla Lodge. The chapter's goal is to help the Lodge carry out the OA Program by reaching more members.
Cahuilla Lodge is organized into 6 distinct chapters. Because of the large geographical territory that the lodge covers, the chapter organization is important to the lodge's success.

Tahquitz is the name of the original OA Lodge in the area, and the legend of Tahquitz is important to Cahuilla Indian lore.
Ironically, the name also replaced one of the most inactive chapters. As growth in the Murrietta/Temecula area exploded, so did the population of the chapter, from less than 30 members in the early 1990s to the largest chapter in Cahuilla Lodge today. The growth spurred a huge infusion of youth into Cahuilla, supplying the youth with an ample base of talent to draw from.
Since its inception, the Tahquitz Chapter has easily been the largest chapter in Cahuilla Lodge. Born out of the Tri-Lakes/Three Peaks district merge, members changed their name from Puyumak to the current name in September of 1994. The other chapter in the district was Yamiwa until it was absorbed a year later.
At the time, the story was told that there existed a legend where the brother of Yamiwa was "Tahquitz," though I have failed to find that documented yet. The name, Yamiwa, is Luiseno Indian in origin, which is alleged to have been one of the many names for Tahquitz Peak.
The Tahquitz chapter merged with the Yamiwa chapter in 2014.

The Wanakik Chapter of Cahuilla Lodge is one of the original chapters formed in 1974, and has been one of the largest and most active groups ever since.
The Chapter's name commemorates the Wanakikturn Cahuilla Indians. The Chapter calls themselves the "People of the Swirling Waters."
The Wanakik chapter merged with the Soboba chapter and the Corona/Norco section of the Hutuk chapter in 2014.
