UPDATE: Agenda has been updated with tribe activity and campsite assignments. Download the agenda.
Download the official Iron Chief rules. The Federation-provided ingredients will be pork belly and “three sisters” vegetables (squash, corn, and beans). Start planning today.
For the orienteering race, we will go over basic compass orienteering before the race starts. You can get a head start by watching these videos:
– Learn Map & Compass in One Minute
– How to Use a Compass
– Introduction to Orienteering (more info than we need)
The Beaver Moon in November is named for the beavers which at this time of the year become particularly active building their winter dams in preparation for the cold season. As we gather for our 2019 Boys Fall Longhouse, we will also spend time in preparation, and competition, for wilderness survival. Spirit of the Suwannee, Timucuan’s autumnal stomping grounds, is the perfect place to hone our wilderness survival skills.
Agenda
On Saturday, we’ll have our opening ceremony as usual, and will then move into a brief presentation on wilderness preparedness and survival kid-focused outdoor ethics given by a couple of Master Educators from the Leave No Trace organization. We’ll then kick off the fun with a few familiar competitions: BB Guns, Archery, and Egg Toss.
The last competition of the morning will be a new one, building tarp shelters. Learn some useful knots ahead of the event, and watch some tarp shelter videos to find a shelter design that is comfortable, provides good protection from the elements, and is fun to hang out in. A tarp and paracord will be provided. Bring anything else you may need. Best three shelters will win medals.
Watch videos on building tarp shelters
Useful tarp shelter knots:

Bowline knot
Trucker’s hitch
Prusik hitch

In the afternoon will be an orienteering race. With a provided compass and map, tribes will race their way through a mapped course. Tribe start times will be staggered. We’ll track the start and finish times and award medals to the fastest three tribes. Kids can’t do this one on their own, so limber up Dads.
After our physical activities are done, we’ll be hosting a cooking competition we’re calling IRON CHIEF! Using provided ingredients, each tribe will cook their own best dish for the judges. Use whatever other ingredients you want, but the provided ingredients have to be the star of the dish. We will let you know the ingredients and full rules ahead of time so you can plan. No dare food allowed (e.g. dried crickets, melt-your-face-off hot sauce, ghost chilis, etc.)!
While dads are busy cooking, the boys will compete in Big Red’s critter race. Hand sanitizer will be provided after the race.
As with all Fall Longhouses, this will be a Sacred Fire with an Acorn Ceremony on Saturday night. Remember that the silent walk is the start of a very special night to remember for our newest members. Help make this fire walk as perfect as it was for you.
Notes
Cash and PayPal will be accepted for the raffle, in addition to advance ticket purchases on CircleBridge. We will draw winners for the TBA raffle prizes at closing ceremonies. Ticket, not person, must be present to win.
Golf cart rentals must be made with the Country Store directly. We have arranged a $35 per day rate while carts last. Call (386) 364-4841 to reserve yours today! If you will be bringing your own golf cart, you must register it with them and pay a fee. See Suwannee’s Golf Cart Policy for details.

Big How Timucuan Federation:
Out of an abundance of caution the Fed Council has decided that the safest course of action is to cancel the skating portion of the Holiday Skating event but continue to hold the Toys for Tots toy drive.
With all of the ongoing COVID issues in the greater Jacksonville area Toys for Tots needs our help more than ever. On December 6 Storm Cloud and Red Bear will be in the parking lot of the Skate Station at 3461 Kori Rd Jacksonville FL 32257 between 3 and 5 PM to collect your new unwrapped toys. In order to minimize the number of people that are there at any given time we are asking that the boys drop off their donations between 3 and 4 PM and the girls drop off their donations between 4 and 5 PM. As an added incentive to donate each member who makes a donation will be rewarded with a community service credit towards their 2020-2021 OWB award.

This unprecedented long, dark winter appears to be finally coming to an end. Our sons & daughters have been dreaming of this time since we were forced into hiding over a year ago. As our program emerges from hibernation like a hungry and sleepy bear, our families will gather at one of our favorite places for a weekend of traditional NSD family fun.
The Apache, Algonquin, and Sioux Nation Chiefs would like to invite all boys and girls tribes to come together once again at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park for a fun-filled Longhouse weekend. As with all Spring Longhouses, this weekend will have a Sacred Fire with a Broken Arrow Ceremony. If your child will be breaking arrow, please email your Nation Chief and the Medicine Man.
We will be camping at the lake area, featuring a newly remodeled bathhouse. We will have all of the family-favorite war games like BB Guns, Archery, Egg Toss, and Critter Race. We’ll also be pitting tribes against each other with skit performances , a first for most boy tribes. Expecting beautiful spring weather, we’ll set up the water slide into the cool Suwannee River.
Registration is now open!
$35 per person for tent camping. $40 per person for RV camping.
