The Native Sons and Daughters boys\u2019 Spring Longhouse (campout) was organized by Joe \u201cBig Red\u201d Woodlief and Ron \u201cSpirit Bear\u201d Smith and held at Blue Springs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon arrival, the boys set up their tents and unloaded the firewood prior to donning their bathing suits and heading down to the main attraction \u2014 the spring. Being spring-fed from the Floridan aquifer, the water remains a constant temperature year round and provides relief on a hot, humid day. One after another, the boys jumped off the platform and were greeted by the tingle of 72 degree water.<\/span><\/p>\n

The activities during the day included the egg toss and the critter race. A barbeque hosted by chefs Shawn \u201cBig Bobcat\u201d DeShazo and Justin \u201cBig Tree\u201d Ellenberger nourished young bodies at the end of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event came to a close with a sacred fire ceremony and special recognition of Pathfinders, middle and high school aged children with more than 100 years of program experiences who graduated from the program on this evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the sacred fire ceremony, Bill \u201cKicking Buffalo\u201d Valentino was recognized and honored for his tireless and passionate service for the past six years to the Pathfinders organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Chief of the Native Sons and Daughters program, Bryan \u201cBig Wolf\u201d Davis presented Brian \u201cFlaming Arrow\u201d Quirk the Joe Friday Award, which is the highest level of recognition within the national program. Quirk is the first member of the Timucuan Longhouse as well as the first Floridian to be so honored. <\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming events for the local organization include: Ray Potts Summer Bowling beginning on June 12, the Timucuan Longhouse night with the Jacksonville Sharks on June 18 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and the August Back to School Canoe float down the Suwannee River.<\/span><\/p>\n
