Here are a few photos of the Federation Induction
event on Sunday November 9th 2003.
The YMCA had a good gathering. The Federation already has registered
222 parent child pairs and more are coming on to fill in a few tribes.
Very Healthy.
We Chumash Gathered early to let the kids get to know each other
and chat about Indian Names for use in our tribe meetings. We
played Kickball and Basketball. Then signed up and went to partake
in the In-And-Out Burgers from the Mobile In and Out truck! Yum.
The Westside Y does it right.
6 Braves of the Chumash Tribe about to Sign in:
After Signing in The Gold's got right to work on the Vest:
Then we ate and played some more. The little Braves went to
the Jumper.
Now we are gathering as a
Federation of Tribes for the ceremony.
Most of us are in this photo.
Then the Chiefs came out with their assistant Chiefs.
The Ceremony began.
Here is Gray Whale and Whale Flipper after the promise.
When asked for Silly Faces the
boys complied happily!
More Silly Faces from the
Chumash boys!
Happy to be inducted Fathers
with their Sons.
Just as we had moments before,
as new members said the Induction, these returning Braves are saying
the Reaffirmation.
Fully into the spirit of the
event now...
Chiefs tell the Story of the
Corn and how it represented life...
The Audience...
