  • For those that are staying over and things to do on your own or as a group, tours to Museums, places of interests (TBA) 

Support is always welcome

In order to continue these events, we humbly request assistance from the membership. We need volunteers to help out in several areas so that not all of the burden and responsibility lies on just a few folks. We need folks to arrive early to help set of camp, help with setting up teepees, those to lend pickup truck and/or pick up portable toilets, haul trailers of supplies, water runs, and recreational furniture, like benches, portable arbors and canopies, etc. We also need folks to help out with cooking and to bring food and supplies for the common kitchen. All of this is a coordinated effort. We will be asking family representative for coordinating with their respective family members to help out during the next annual gathering.

NOTICE
Gathering Protocols

  1. No photographs, video taping or recording devises!

  2. No Alcohol or controlled substance on ceremonial property!

  3. Our traditions and customs are to stay through the entire Ceremony. Like church, we don't leave mass half way. We are praying for all of us and our preservation efforts. All of our prayers together make a difference.

  4. Although we desire for folks to have a joyous and memorable time, we also need to teach those that are not acclimated to the culture that we don't applaud during ceremonies and each ceremony is considered sacred. These events are not intended to be entertainment in the sense of mere performance. These ceremonies are sacred and we are trying to maintain them for future generations as our ancestors would desire us to continue.

  5. Please don't take offense to elders correcting folks and others on the proper protocol and customs. Our intentions are to teach everyone how to properly observe our ways and traditions.

  6. The elections of tribal officers and council results will appear on the Governance Section of this site.
