Several additional Tribes were established by the Great Council of Maryland, and on November 4, 1845, there having previously been established three Tribes in the District of Columbia, the Great Council of Maryland granted a charter to the Great Council of the District of Columbia, and it was established on that day. From this time on the Order spread, until there were Tribes in several Reservations, and on the 1st sleep of the 5th seven suns of Cold Moon, 5607, which in the common era corresponds to Monday, January 30, 1847, was instituted and organized the Great Council of the United States, which was and is recognized as the Supreme Body of the Improved Order of Red Men.

Tucker, in his long talk to the Great Council of the United States in 5613 (1852), referred to the organization of Chickasaw Tribe, No. 1, of Newport, Kentucky, and Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2, of Covington. The date of the introduction of the Order into Kentucky was the 29th of Hot Moon, G. S. 5612, (June 29, 1852). The first Prophet of Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2, was A. J. Francis, afterwards sixteenth Great Incohonee of the G. C. U. S. There were also established the following Tribes, though we have no record of the exact date of their institution: Pocahontas Tribe, No. 3, of Newport, G. S. 5613. Kentucky, No. 4, of Louisville, G.
