The Sioux Tribe kicked off their year with a pool party at the YMCA. All the girls in the tribe at the time of the meeting were present. Congratulations to the girls and their dads. In attendance were Tiger Lily, Singing River, Shooting Star, Golden Dove, Red Feather, and Little Bunny. We did our meeting in the pool, and told the story of Toketee the female shark and her dad Umpqua who lost all his teeth but gets new ones after being splashed with magic water from the island of the mermaids. We shot hoops and played games--London Bridges, dunk the chief, and choo-choo train, splashed and had an all around good time. This was a good tribal bonding event. All of the girls are excellent swimmers.

Special recognition was given as we passed out annual arrows to Tiger Lily, Singing River, Shooting Star, and Golden Dove, and to their dads: Laughing Bear and Thunder Cloud. These arrows recognize completion of one year in the Indian Princesses program. We are looking forward to our next event, the El Torito night.
