Smoke Signals
Coming of Age Ceremony meetings
As noted in the July 15 Smoke Signals, a joyous group of women
are hard at work to bring back a tradition in our culture which
hasn't occurred in more than 100 years. The first meeting was held
on July 18 at the Youth Education Building and was open to all
family members both male and female. The following is the list of
dates of the next meetings up until the actual Ceremony is held
Sept. 25-29, 2013. Please be aware that both of these meetings
are open to any female youth, adult or Elder who is committed to
participating in this amazing opportunity. Both meetings will be
held at the Youth Education Building and dinner will be served.
