TRIBE HISTORY
The Mighty Shawnee tribe of Northpark was founded in the fall of 2004 by
Chief Big Bear, (Eddie Font). Along with co-founding officers, War
Whooper - Wild Boar (Bill King), Wampum Bearer - Howling Wolf (Tom
Ruggieri) and Bead Keeper and Story Teller (Vince Lewis), Chief Big Bear
successfully recruited 18 families for the inaugural year of the tribe.
The tribe has now grown to 28 families and is the largest tribes
in the Orange Blossom North Nation.

through attending campouts, monthly meetings and just spending quality

bonfire at the beach and ends in July with a tribe party.
