Spe-Le-Yai Lodge was an early Lodge in Southern California chartered on August 26, 1943. The Lodge’s name is said to be a Shoshone word for “Song of the Coyote.”
The Lodges territory includes the cities of Glendale and Burbank, along with several Northern neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
Spe-Le-Yai was very active in helping form other Lodges in Southern California, and helped facilitate many ceremonies.
The Lodge hosted the Centennial 2015 Section W4N Conclave at Camp Verdugo Oaks.
A special award exists called the “Song of the Coyote.”
The Lodge had their first National Officer when Gavin Cho was elected the 2020 Western Region Chief.
