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 32 families and is one of the largest tribes in the Orange Blossom North Nation. TRIBE MISSION The goal is for dads and daughters to be "Pals Forever" with each other through attending campouts, monthly meetings and just spending quality time with each other. CALENDAR YEAR Each tribal year begins in September with the first monthly meeting and bonfire at the beach and ends in July with a trip to Wild Rivers. Those that are wanting to join in September, are encouraged to attend the Wild Rivers event in July. MONTHLY MEETINGS Tribe meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at the Northpark Clubhouse at 7pm. Please send an email to the chief if you are considering joining the tribe and would like to attend a meeting. CAMPOUTS There is no cheaper way to spend a weekend with your daughter(s) than on an Indian Princess campout. Enjoy excellent accommodations from camping on the beach to lodging at snow camp in Big Bear. Click on the EVENTS page to see what's in store for the 2007-2008 year.
