Coming off the great weekend at Longhouse a week earlier, the Leaning Teepees came together again at the home of Rumbling Thunder and Lightning Streak for another tribe meeting. Some of the rituals from our first meeting became a bit easier and we were able to move through the regular tribe "business" quicker than before. This allowed time for the braves to practice learning each others Indian and real-names. While nobody was quite ready to earn a feather for their efforts (as they must be able to recite everyone's names), there was a marked sign of improvement. Little Falcon give it a try and is moving quickly towards success. It won't be long before we spend more time with one another, and review pictures and names in-between meetings that all will be able to accomplish this feat.
Braves went around the room and shared what they saw on their one-mile hikes with their dads, which allowed each tribe member to earn a dark green feather. Upcoming activities will determine what feathers are earned next.

In the end, the family room looked and sounded like a turkey farm. Maybe a little early to sit down to a full feast, so instead we settled for Oreo cookies!
Our next activity will be hike up 
Crowders Mountain - a state park in North Carolina.
