If you are not attending an event as a guest of a member, you must have joined the program before attending an event.

You may join anytime by completing the Join Indian Princess form on the About Program or Contact menu above.  Once you've submitted the request to join a Seminole Nation officer will ask a tribe chief to invite you to a tribal meeting.  At the Tribal Meeting you and your daughter(s) will meet the other dads and daughters in the tribe, and typically build a craft and have snacks.  Nation Event (see Princess Calendar) registration is only open during a window of time leading up to the event day.

Annual Program Registration: Most Nation events require that your Annual Registration be in effect and not expired. On the Event registration page you will be prompted to renew your annual membership if it will expire before the event you're registering for.  Annual registration is not collected or offered outside of the Nation Event registration process.

Costs: $45 per family, annually

Additional Program Costs:  The Seminole Nation Indian Princess program holds nation sponsored events throughout the year.  Our major Fall and Spring Overnight Camp Outs typically run $100-115 per person. Other Nation events – run about $5 to $75.  (All Nation sponsored events require a family to have a current annual program registration.)

The Indian Princess program is ACTION-ORIENTED! Fathers and their daughters form tribes. Tribes contain anywhere from 10-15 fathers and their daughters. The tribe selects one father as tribal chief, along with various tribal positions delegated to the fathers.  Typical volunteer tribal positions are Tribe Chief, Tribe Medicine Man, Tribe Wampum Bearer and Tribal Property Keeper.  Throughout the year tribes will attend their own tribal events plus attend Seminole Nation sponsored events.

The major Nation sponsored Spring and Fall Camp outs will include the Induction and Breaking Arrow Ceremonies.  At your daughter's first spring or fall camp out she will be individually honored by both current and past program Nation officers who will welcome them into the program.  Additionally, girls reaching their mid-teens who are ready to leave the program will participate in the Breaking Arrow ceremony.  During this ceremony there isn't a dry eye in the audience...but luckily the daughters are there to console their dads.
