Girls Spring Longhouse

Big How! The Shoshone, Sioux and Seminole Nation Chiefs would like to invite all the tribes of their nations to the Girls Spring Longhouse. For those new to the program, it is an event you won’t want to miss. Spring Longhouse is a special time that is designed to strengthen the bond between parent and daughter. Activities will include Canoeing, Kayaks, Fishing, Archery, BB Guns, Crafts, and the Sacred Fire Ceremony.

There will be a Survivor Challenge that will pit tribe against tribe in canoeing, fishing, fire starting and many other activities.

The event is $19 per person for primitive tent camping or $27 per person for a cabin – registration fee can be paid on Circle Bridge and includes a patch, BBQ dinner Saturday night and all activities. Campers are allowed in the parking lot but there are no electric or water hookups available.
