It was early April and the Blazing suns met at the Chief’s Tee Pee, Laughing and Flying Fox.  As the carnage of past Spring Outing Raft Races lay rotting in the backyard, the Blazing Suns got down to business with 12 beats of the tom tom and an opening prayer by Laughing Fox.  We performed the unbroken circle and recited the tribe aims and pledge.  

 Some of the braves earned Wampum including; Little Thunderbird, Silver Hawk, Puppy Drum, Brave Bunny, Flying Fox, and Running Dingo.

Since Spooky Spider and Swooping Owl missed the last meeting at the Drum’s tee pee this is a double header tallykeeper report.

March 13^th Pow Wow and Rocket and Kite extravaganza at Carter Finely Stadium.  The Frog’s decided to hold their Pow Wow at an offsite location – onsite at the Arapohoe Nation Annual Kite and Rocket Day.  We started off with 12 beats of the Tom Tom by Lightning Frog.  Then Jumping Frog lead us in the opening prayer, unbroken circle, aimes, and the pledge.

About a moon ago we met at the Tee Pee of Brave Bunny and Medecin Man. Brave Bunny started the Pow Wow with 12 beats of the Tom Tom.  Then we did the unbroken circle, the aims, and the pledge.

Lots of the little braves earned wampum, including:  Thunder Cub, Puppy Drum, Running Dingo, Flying Fox, Little Thunderbird, Spooky Spider, Brave Bunny, and Lightning Frog.

It seems like only yesterday when we met at the Thunder Tee Pee for our last Pow Wow.  Team Stahl was up by 7 and Thunder Cub kicked off the beating by pounding on the Tom Tom 12 times.  Thunder Bear thanked the Great Spirit for allowing us all to be together.  Then we did the unbroken circle, the aimes, and the pledge.

 Lots of the little braves earned wampum, including:  Thunder Cub, Golden Eagle, Puppy Drum, Running Dingo, Golden Hawk, Flying Fox, Little Thunderbird, and Spooky Spider.

How How!

Welcome to the very anticipated, long delayed issue #5 of the Blazing Suns newsletter! And today's theme is...bring your checkbook! But first, a reminder...

At the start of the new year the Blazing Suns came together for an Ace of a good time out in Woop Woop down by the ole Billabong.  This Bloke, Running Dingo, began the Pow Wow with 12 beats of the didgerdio a hearty G’day and the Blazing Suns got down to Bizzo. 

Its London to a Brick that Wampum was earned by all the little braves.

And a mess of the little Mates earned feathers: 

Little Thunderbird earned his green feather for completing three craft projects and his blue feather for reciting the Aims.

On the 5^th of December The Blazing Suns met again at the Martin tee pee for their 3^rd Pow Wow and once again Big Thunderbird came in disguise.  Black Hawk brought the finished product from THE GREATEST CRAFT EVER.  The hand carved, permanently etched, now fire roasted bricks.  The meeting began with 12 beats of the tom tom by Spooky Spider.  Then Swooping Owl gave an inspiring Tallykeeper report to much applause and adulation.

How How!

We're deep in the Holiday season, but that's no reason for the fun to stop! Thank you, Swooping Owl, for a great meeting, and the new ornament that's on our tree! There are several other activities coming up...

As the leaves began to fall, the Blazing Suns met at the tee pee of Black Hawk and Golden Hawk for our 2^nd tribe Pow Wow. We started the meeting with 12 beats of the Tom Tom by Golden Hawk and an opening prayer by Black Hawk.  Lots of the little braves had performed Wampum and were able to pay the Wampum Bearer for their good deeds.  There were also a lot of feathers earned.
