Indian Winter 2022 Overview
This event will offer an opportunity for Arrowmen across the section to participate in focus areas including American Indian crafts, Order of the Arrow inductions, and women’s ceremony regaila. The American Indian crafts will focus on learning about proper ceremony regalia for both men and women. The construction and maintenance of individual regalia parts from roaches, chokers, breast plates, breach cloths, leggings and moccasins to some of the less known. We will also cover regalia ranking through the use of accessories among the principal ceremonialist.
