Lost Treasures of the Iroquois Firepit, Part I

Some say it’s only a legend; others believe it may be all too real – a treasure buried on the site on the Iroquois Firepit project at the Wildwood Nature Center. For the first time we reveal the contents of the alleged treasure:

The patches commemorate nearly 30 years of Iroquois history.

Some patches are more personal than others, acknowledging both families and friends that have made significant contributions to the Iroquois in recent years, but all patches help tell the proud history of the Iroquois.

Also in the treasure, an acknowledgement of the children whom PRISIP hopes to serve – a girl's character doll that reminds us that when we wish upon a star, dreams come true; a boys' heroic action figure whose own story reminds us that with great power comes great responsibility; an astronaut as a reminder to keep reachign for the stars, and a bear toy, a reminder of Chief Big Bear (and his father, of the same name) who lead the effort to build the firepit.
