Achewon Nimat was formed in the early 1960’s by the merger of Machek N’Gult Lodge 375 and Royaneh Lodge 282.  Following the merger, Achewon Nimat had a village associated with each council district.  Over the years, the villages merged along with the districts and outside of the district mergers.  Below his a pictorial of the Achewon Nimat village merger history.
