Greetings to all FCF Members,
I hope everyone is getting ready for the Frontier Adventure and Buckskin Trace. The applications are due by March 15th for both the Adventure and the Buckskin Trace. I will be sending out the info on the Adventure and would like to know what classes you want to teach. Just email me and let me know and I will put you as the instructor of the class. We also have a lot of other parts such as the one in charge of the dinner on Saturday night. More info coming and April 23rd – 25th will be here before you know it (the date of the event). We will be having an FCF Staff meeting on March 20th to go over the Frontier Adventure and Buckskin Trace. There are other things we will be covering on the 20th, starts at 8 am.
The 20th of March after the meeting, we will be installing the rafters for our new store. We can use your help. We will keep the meeting short and by the way, that is why the meeting is so early on Saturday, we need to get started on the store.
Our District Commander Marvin Lemke has given us more territory for our village. If your Company (Section) wants to stake a clam and put a building on it, the cost is $200.00 for your clam. Free Trappers Company (SEC. 1) and Council Oak Company (Sec. 5 East) has already staked there claim. Rick Botts from section 8 has spoken for one; he just needed to know where to send the money. Make the check out to Indian Nation FCF at P.O. Box 264, Talala, Oklahoma74080. The money will go toward the General Store. We will be talking about the building requirements at the meeting and while we are working on the store.
The Commanders Conference is coming up on April 9th and 10th. We will be holding a Ranger Officers Class and Black Powder Class starting at 7 pm on Friday night the 9th till 10 pm. We will continue at 8 am on the 10th till we get finished. The cost has gone up on both classes. After we ordered all the supplies and counted all the shipping, For the Ranger Officer was just a few cents under $25.00 and the Black Powder class was just a few cents under $20.00. We still haft to pay the insurance and cost of the building (utilities). On the District Web we have the cost at $18.00 but we must charge it to $30.00 for the Ranger Officer Class and $25.00 for the Black Powder Class. Sorry about the cost but we have no control of the cost of supplies. In the past, Wopuscat and Cookshack has paid for black powder as other expense out of there pockets. I take my hat off to them but I know that both of them are not able to continue doing that even thou I know they would and never say anything.
Don’t forget about the National Royal Ranger Council on March the 11th – 13th.
I still have my email address at cletis@coeproductionco.com my business email. I do have a 2nd email address for my ministry, cletis.fcf@gmail.com I check both of them everyday several times. I am going to change all my ministry business to my ministry email.
We will be having an FCF outfit class on the 15th – 17th of July for the Young Bucks.
Winter Trace will be on the 3rd – 5th of December.
Be at the meeting if you can on March 20th.
May the Lord Bless you,
No Powder

2010 Powamu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This is a "Leap Year" for Royal Rangers, so to speak. Due to the approaching 50th Anniversary celebration, the yearly schedules have been slightly re-aligned. For 2010 - there will be NO FCF Territorial Rendezvous, NO National Camporama, NO National FCF Rendezvous.
The idea for an Invitational Familly FCF Powamu was hatched during the trip to and from the 2008 National Camporama. The Plainsmen Territory, under the able direction of Territorial Rep BILL STUCKEY, has volunteered to sponsor this unique event. Regional Coordinator JONATHON TROWER whole-heartedly approved the idea.
The Oklahoma District, with District Commander MARVIN LEMKE, has volunteered to open up their campgrounds for our use for LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2010. There are spaces for Primitive Camping, Modern Camping, and RV's. COME ONE -- COME ALL.
Long-time FCF member ALAN GELL has been asked to Chair the Powamu. Alan is the originator of the first family Powamu held back in 1970 at Fort Davis in West Texas. He is among the original group of Wilderness members and has attended every National FCF Rendezvous since the beginning in 1972. He served Royal Rangers as the South Central Regional Coordinator for 20 years and is a Past National Vice-President.
Plan now to attend this unique, once-in-a-lifetime event. Families, of course, are encouraged. However, any FCF member, former or present, may attend.
Additional information will be posted as it is made available. You can also follow the event on www.facebook.com/home.php

Winter Trace

Greetings,
This years Winter Trace turned out to be very cold but very exciting trace. We had 44 Young Bucks and 25 Old Timers. Two Gourds ran the trace and did a very good job. Four-way ran the Seneca Run and I heard that it was as good if not better than ever, Thanks Four-way.
Evan (Bubbles) Sligar completed his buckskin. No Fun Mouse Hawk did the testing and several other jobs at the same time, Thanks.
Bill (Shoot Straight) Stucky came up for the Wilderness Vigil, our Territorial Representative. We had 11 that were to go through the Vigil, only 8 were able to attend. Michael (Red Neck) Wright, Austin (Toe Sucker) Seratte, Nick (Rabbit Head) Villalobos, Kolt Donaldson, Britton (NO Hawk) Wright and Zach (Blade Bender) Tyson for the Young Bucks. Doug (Night Hawk) Collins and David (Flintnapper) Atnip for the Old Timers. All was able to complete the Vigil except two of the Young Bucks. Toe Sucker and Blade Binder will complete it the next time just as Kolt and Britton came back this time and was successful. A true FCF Member never quits until his goal has been reached.
We have a lot of exciting news to tell. Be looking for an email.
Praise the Lord,
No Powder

2009 Territorial Rendezvous

Well, the Rendezvous is over but the memories for the 67 Young Bucks and Old Timers from the Indian Nation will last a lifetime. The weather was beautiful, the food was plentiful and fellowship was awesome. There were over 340 men and boys from both the Plainsmen and Mountainmen Territories that showed up for the event.
As expected, the Indian Nation took first place in the overall Chapter category. I'm sure having 67 of us up front of the rest of the group, singing the entire FCF song, was quite a site. A big congratulations goies out to Britton 'No Hawk' Wright for winning the scout competition with the new title of NATIONAL FCF SCOUT! Way to go No Hawk. The Young Bucks of the Plainsmen Territory will be counting on you to represent them well. And the entire Indian Nation chapter would like to thank you for your dedication.
Another congratulations goes out to David 'Flint Knapper' Atnip for taking the top prize for overall Old Timers. Winning the event with his quick work and steady hand earned him a really nice smoke pole. Great Job Flint Knapper!!
Here is a list of where each of the Indian Nation members finished in the competitions. A big HOO RAH to each and every one of you.
