Welcome to Our 2011-2012 Season – The Start of Something New

For all of our Nations in the Park Ridge Indian Scouts and Indian Princess Federation, the new season is the start of something new. It’s not just back-to-school time, or the changing of the seasons as autumn follows summer, but new members joining new tribes, first campouts, new friends, the beginning of a journey that will last for sumers, ideally, a lifetime of Father and Son, Father and Daughter, together forever.

For us here at the PRISIP Federation, this year is also the start of something new – our new website, prisip.org – meant to connect you to our events and activities as never before. We hope you’ll take the time to follow and enjoy us throughout this new year, and beyond! Drop back from time to time and see what your favorite Nation or Tribe has been up to, share with your friends, get involved, get excited, enjoy.

We welcome you to our site, and invite you to enjoy the start of something new…

Firepit! The Iroquois Firepit Project Video

Following the official Dedication of the new Iroquois Firepit Project at the Wildwood Nature Center in Park Ridge, one of the participating Iroquois dad’s was moved to share photos and video of the building effort in the style of Ken Burns’ Civil War, as well as some additional footage from the dedication on September 17th, 2011.

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.

Iroquois Lead Effort to Build New Firepit for Future Generations

Realizing a dream nearly a year in the making, members of the Iroquois tribe gathered on September 10th and 11th at the Wildwood Nature Center in Park Ridge to excavate and build a new firepit destined to take a starring role in Iroquois Induction night ceremonies for years to come.

Thoughtfully recognizing the value of the project to the community, there was significant press coverage of the effort, includi

Iroquois Nation Readies for Another Year

Members of the Iroquois Nation's Navajo Tribe at the Induction Ceremony at the Annual Fall Campout, a rite of passage for Father and Daughter alike.

The Fall always comes too fast. It seems only yesterday school was letting out and the panorama of summer stretched before us all. And then, in a twinkling of fireflies, it’s Back-to-School, and with it, the new Indian Princess Season gets underway.

Here in the Iroquois, we’re readying for an exciting year ahead, from new Chiefs and new members, to a new Induction Ceremony and a new Fall Campout location!  Of course, what hasn’t changed is our commitment to good times and good fun with our friends in the Iroquois!

So stay tuned, friends – the best is yet to come!

All Roads Lead to Fall Registration

Yes, friends, it’s that time of year! The kiddies are back in school, the Labor Day weekend will have come and gone, the first hint of a fall chill will creep into the air (prior to some inexplicable heatwave in October) and thoughts will turn leaves rustling on forest trails, bonfires in the woods at night, connecting with the traditions of the past while looking to the future.

In other words – classic Indian Scouts and Indian Princess weather.

And you’ll want to get signed up now to be sure you’ll be able to enjoy all of our fine traditions, from the first meeting to the first campout. It’s easy and fun to do –– just download our 2011-2012 registration form and bring it with you (as well as your registration fee) to visit us at the South Park Rec Center on Friday night, September 9th, from 6 to 9pm. Drop on by anytime, meet with current members, get your questions answered and sign up to start a year of excitement and memory making!
