I would like to invite and encourage all members of the former Bear Clan and Long Hair Clan to come and participate with the Deer Clan.  We in Deer Clan want you to know that you are wanted in the tribe and by Deer Clan.  WE have our meeting on the second Sunday of every other month.  Our next meeting will be in July.  Please come and join us.  We have a covered dish lunch at 12:00 and the meeting usually starts at 1:00.  We meet on the Tribal land at Lacon.  Come and share with the Deer Clan as we try to learn more about the heritage, history, culture, and traditions of our ancestors.  We are all in the tribe together so please come and fellowship with us.  If you have any questions please call me and I will be happy to talk with each and every one of you.  Hope to see you at the meeting.  If you want to visit or work on the land, give me a call and I might just meet you at the tribal land.  Hope to see you at the July meeting.
