October 2001 Patuxent Nation Welcome to the Patuxent Nation! Thank you to all who came to the Induction Ceremony at the Y. It was a beautiful evening for the campfire. I enjoyed seeing all that could make it. This year we have many exciting activities and events planned. Keep on the lookout for the Talking Stick for dates, times and locations of all nation events. Don’t forget, that in November, we will be having our annual Sleep-over at the Y. I am trying to finalize the date around November 16th/17th. Keep your eyes posted for the next newsletter. Fall has started and I hope you are all enjoying it. The trees are beginning to turn. Last weekend, I was up near Cumberland, Md. and the trees were changing colors each day. I hope some of you will get a chance to go to Skyline Drive to see the colors. This is the time of year that animals are getting ready for the upcoming winter. Have you noticed any squirrels gathering nuts? How about geese flying south for the winter? Keep your eyes open…..you’ll be amazed at what you may see. This year has started off well with both Tribes having their kick-off meetings. The returning Chitimacha Tribe made some great gourd people. The new tribe met for the 1st time and made emblem shields for themselves. They are currently deciding on the name of their tribe.
To get to Darrow Berry Farm:
This is an all-family, all nation event……..everyone is invited. Through Life Together Here is a short story in American Indian
Sign Language that says a lot. Can you decode it?
