"Sioux North" Tribe of the GA-Sioux Nation North Valley YMCA Y-Princesses

The November Sioux North tribal meeting held at Red Sky's house. All tribal members were present.

The meeting began with our opening ceremony, after which Red Sky and Red Feather told a story about Thanksgiving. We also read the story "Looking for the Good" from the Y Friends Always book. After this, we collected "wampum" while the girls shared the things in their lives for which they were thankful. The girls then provided their scouting reports, sharing information about the constellations of Pegasus, Deliphinus, Boötes, Orion, Ursa Minor, and Argo Navis. The chief then provided information about upcoming nation events. At this time, induction certificates where provided to Broken Wing and Beauty Pony, and Big Buck and Little Deer.

After this, we did arts and crafts. We made puppets of characters in the Thanksgiving story, and the girls presented a little play. We then shared cupcakes and cookies in honor of Little Bunny's birthday.

Our next nation event is the Holiday Parade on December 3rd in Granada Hills. Most of the tribe have already committed to going. The scouting assignment for the next meeting is to report of family holiday traditions.
