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

Our December tribe meeting was held at Tiny Cloud's Teepee with a festive touch. The girls each explained what holiday traditions their family participates in at this time of year. From decorating trees with lights and ginger-bread house making to playing holiday games and family gatherings, it was intriguing to know what other people do during the holidays. Present and accounted for that evening were Flying Elbow and Bright Star, Tiny Cloud and White Cloud, Running Rabbit's stand-in ("Laughing Penguin") and Little Bunny, Thunder Cloud and Golden Dove, Big Buck and Little Deer, Crazy Horse and Tiger Lily, Red Sky and Red Feather, and Broken Wing and Beauty Pony. The meeting was topped off with the tribe participating in decorating their particular portion of the Sioux North Totem Pole. It was fun watching and helping the princesses draw pictures representing their Indian names on their piece of wood. This included stars, clouds, animals, and flowers. It will be interesting to see how these Totem Pole sections develop and come together over the year. Time to get out the wood working tools.

Our next nation event is Camp Whittle in early January in Granada Hills. We are all looking forward to it.
