Message from the Nation Chief

Tonka Hey Big Braves and Little Princesses,

 

It has been said many times before, but is so true. It seems like we just got started and all of the sudden the season is coming to an end.

As I look back over this last season I see all the good things that we have accomplished. As a Nation we gathered together many times giving fathers & daughters opportunities to strengthen the bonds that will last a life time. Gave of ourselves, taught our daughters the importance of giving to the community where they live. As tribes we gathered and formed new friendships, shared time and talents with one another.

 

            As a father and Chief to this Nation I have had many moments that define what this program is all about. I would like to share with you the lyrics from a song that one little Princess wrote and performed at our Nation Officer Induction Ceremonies at Covenant Harbor Bible Camp. 

Nation of Indian Princesses

Indian Princesses, Father and Daughter.

Trustworthy, Caring, respect and responsibility.

Indian Princesses;

We’re all one big,

We’re all one big.

We’re all one big family.
