Sacred Fire & Respect for the Great Spirit: Each tribe should deliver at least 4 nice, big, juicy logs to the Opening Ceremony for the Sacred Fire). During the Sacred Fire, as well as the Opening & Closing ceremony, everyone should remember to wear their vests and be respectful when someone has the Talking Stick. During the Firewalk all Big Braves and Princesses are to observe silence and reflect on their time together. Please, no flashlights, only torches
Reminders:
~Sunset is at 5:37PM
~ Dress in layers – temps can fluctuate this time of year.
~ Bring your vests and your new Native Sons and Daughters headbands.
~ Bring chairs to Sacred Fire
~ Don’t forget your Tiki Torches for the Sacred Fire Walk.
~ If you want electric power for your campsite, bring an RV plug converter.
~ Put your campfires out completely – cold to the touch – 18 inches deep.
~ Leave your campsite better than you found it. Reinforce respect for forest, field and stream with your Braves.
