POW WOW II Thanks!
It’s difficult to believe that it is coming up to the end of the “camping with
water on season.” But it is also the season of change as we begin with a
new Board of Directors and the changing of the leaves on the trees.
This is a beautiful time at IACT. The leaves reflecting in the stillness of
the lakes with the beautiful colors is just breathtakingly gorgeous. It’s a
time where anyone can sit and just ponder the loveliness of life.
”Watch out in October…
there are witches and goblins about in the Haunted
House and Haunted Hill… “
Some people close up for the entire winter season while others enjoy the
quiet stillness that winter brings. It will be a quiet season also for the Pow
Wow II. We never know what the future will bring, but we know that it did
bring us a season of joy to bring this publication to each and everyone of
you at IACT for the past 7 months.
The entire Pow Wow II team would like to thank everyone who sent in info
about themselves, families, clubs, glens, etc. It helped to make our publication reach out to all in our IACT family. We wish everyone a blessed off
season and look forward to new growth and ideas come Spring.

The Iroquois were a mix of farmers, fishers, gatherers
and hunters, though their main diet came from farming.
The main crops they farmed were corn, beans and
squash, which were called the three sisters. These
crops are grown strategically. The cornstalks grow, the
bean plants climb the stalks, and the squash grow beneath, inhibiting weeds and keeping the soil moist under the shade of their broad leaves. In this combination, the soil remained fertile for several decades. The
food was stored during the winter, and it lasted for two
to three years. When the soil eventually lost its fertility,
the Iroquois migrated. Gathering was the job of the
women and children. Wild roots, greens, berries and
nuts were gathered in the summer. During spring, maple syrup was tapped from the trees, and herbs were
gathered for medicine. The Iroquois hunted mostly
deer but also other game such as wild turkey and migratory birds. Muskrat and beaver were hunted during
the winter. Fishing was also a significant source of food
because the Iroquois were located near a large river
(St. Lawrence River). They fished salmon, trout, bass,
perch and whitefish. In the spring the Iroquois netted,
and in the winter fishing holes were made in the ice.
Iroquois is an easily recognized name, but like the
names of many tribes, it was given them by their enemies. The Algonquin called them the Iroqu (Irinakhoiw)
"rattlesnakes." After the French added the Gallic suffix
"-ois" to this insult, the name became Iroquois. The
Iroquois call themselves Haudenosaunee meaning
"people of the long house." The original homeland of
the Iroquois was in upstate New York between the Adirondack Mountains and Niagara Falls. Through conquest and migration, they gained control of most of the
northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Established in 1142, the Five Nations Iroquois confederacy consisted of the Mohawks, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, and the Senecas. When the Tuscaroras joined in 1712 the union adapted the name
Haudenosaunee. The Iroquois provide a strong government and military base to protect their farmland and
they also formed one of the nation’s earliest and
strongest diplomacies. The alliance of the Haudenosaunee created the first United Nations in this land,
thus they maintain the oldest, continuously operating
form of government in the world. In 1987, the Congress
of the United States unanimously passed Concurrent
Resolution S.76, recognizing the contribution of the
Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) to the democratic principles
of the Constitution of the United States.

Iroquois hunters used bows and arrows. Iroquois fishermen generally used spears and fishing poles. In war,
Iroquois men used their bows and arrows or fought
with clubs, spears and shields. Other important tools
used by the Iroquois Indians included stone hand axes
for woodworking, flint knives for skinning animals, and
wooden hoes for farming. The Iroquois were skilled
woodworkers, steaming wood so they could bend it into
curved tools. Some Iroquois people still make lacrosse

disapproval. Only two crimes were named, theft and
murder, and both were punishable by death.
sticks this way today. The Iroquois used elm-bark or
dugout canoes for fishing trips, but usually preferred to
travel by land. Originally the Iroquois tribes used dogs
as pack animals. There were no horses in North America until colonists brought them over from Europe. In
wintertime, Iroquois people used laced snowshoes and
sleds to travel through the snow.
The Iroquois are the originators of the modern day
game of Lacrosse. Shrouded in time, Lacrosse was
played among the Confederacy long before the coming
of the Europeans to the shores of North America. It can
be said that when the Europeans first came to America,
Music was a big part of Iroquois culture. The two most Lacrosse was one of the most popular and widespread
games played across the continent and with many variimportant Iroquois instruments are drums and flutes.
Iroquois drums were often filled with water to give them ations. The long stick game played internationally today
belongs to the Iroquois.
a distinctive sound different from the drums of other
tribes. Most Iroquois music is very rhythmic and consists mostly of drumming and lively singing. Flutes
were used to woo women in the Iroquois tribes. An Iroquois Indian man would play beautiful flute music outside his girlfriend's longhouse at night to show her he
was thinking about her.
In terms of spirituality the Iroquois practiced a religion
of love. They believed that the Great Spirit
Tarachiawagon cared for his people and asked that
they care for one another. Their religion also contributed to their deep sense of brotherhood. Social grades
did not exist because the tribe shared everything.
Leaders were respected, but considered equals with
their lowest members. Words for “your highness”, “your
majesty” and “your excellency”, were nonexistent. This
sense of brotherhood exemplifies further that in their
minds the true strength of the Iroquois was not exhibited through military victories, but rather through the
large number of allies they had.
Iroquois playing Lacrosse
The Iroquois are a melting pot. League traditions allowed for the dead to be symbolically replaced through
captives taken in the "Mourning War." Raids were conducted to take vengeance on enemies and to seize
captives to replace lost compatriots. This tradition was
common to native people of the northeast and was
quite different from European settlers' notions of combat. The captives were generally adopted by families of
the tribes to replace members who had died. The Iroquois worked to incorporate conquered peoples and
assimilate them as Iroquois. These young people soon
forget their own country and nation and by this policy
the Five Nations make up the losses which their nation
suffers by the people they lose in war." By 1668, twothirds of the Oneida village were assimilated Algonquians and Huron's.

A further result of their love and respect was shown
through their lack of crime. The Iroquois did not have
police and they didn’t need them. Their code of honor
was seldom broken because citizens feared public

Off-season Fun
By Joyce Waggett
As we head into our “off-season” camping, we feel a small sense of sadness
because the heat of the summer is waning and the pools are closed. The
kids are back in school and everyone is settling into “the routine.” We reflect
back on all the fun that we had at Indian Acres.
But not all is doom and gloom. There are still weekends ahead in the crisp
coolness of fall. Fun abounds with Halloween with the parade, the haunted
house at the teepee and the Haunted Hill in Glen 7. Make up a batch of chili
with some hot apple cider and enjoy friends around the campfire. Of course,
relaxing is nice, but there is also lots of work cleaning up all those leaves that
help to shade and cool us over the summer.
Then we come to a time when the water gets turned off. Lots of people stay
away then because it makes camping just a wee bit more difficult. But it is
doable. Of course for Glens 3, 6 and 9 it’s even a little bit harder because
they don’t have a bath house open after the water is turned off to the lots.
There are Christmas activities for families, there is a New Year’s Eve party
for the adults and there is the quiet beauty and stillness all around when it
snows.
After the New Year, there is usually a Valentine’s Day dance at the clubhouse and then a month later, another one for St. Patrick’s Day. The Recreation Center is always having kids activities too.
So, fellow funsteader’s, remember we do have a life after summer is over.
Come and enjoy the off-season and see the “other side” of Indian Acres. I’m
betting that you’ll love it!

should use it lightly.”
“The greatest strength is gentleness.”
“In our every deliberation, we

“In Iroquois society, leaders
are encouraged to remember
seven generations in the past
and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the
people.”

With the Fall and Winter rapidly approaching please dress warmly and stay dry. The Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a rough winter for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia areas. It is recommended by the CDC,
that Adults and children should wear the following in winter like conditions:
A hat
A scarf or knit mask to cover face and mouth
Sleeves that are snug at the wrist
Mittens (they are warmer than gloves)
Water-resistant coat and boots
Several layers of loose-fitting clothing
Did you know that wind can cause heat loss in the body? Wearing items that are made of wool, silk or polypropylene inner layers of clothing will hold more body heat than cotton. If at all possible stay dry! We know when it
snows people love to be out in it and build snowmen or shovel their driveways and sidewalks; however wet
clothing chills the body rapidly! Do not ignore shivering. Shivering is an important sign that the body is losing
heat. Please remember that persistent shivering is a signal to return indoors.
Have a great Fall and Winter Season!

Please note that after the Board of Directors
positions were elected, Gene (Nippy) Ricci
announced his resignation from the BOD due
to health reasons and the long commute
from his home in Rhode Island. The BOD,
per our bylaws, now will nominate and elect
a property owner in good standing to fill the
vacancy for the current board year. This will
probably happen during open session at the
next scheduled BOD meeting. Also, newly
elected BOD members Sherry Epps and
Staci Sharkey are also one year terms that
fulfilled past vacancies.

Glen 12 Poker Run
By Joyce Waggett
Congratulations to Glen 12 and all who helped Glen
Chief Edie Brooks pull off yet another very successful
Poker Run to raise funds for their glen. If you have
never participated, it is a lot of fun riding around to 5
different stops in various glens who have volunteered
to help. After the sign-up process at the Teepee,
where each person participating buys either 3 hands
($25) or one hand ($10), each one is given a travel
route of the five stops where they would draw one
card and their draw was recorded on their “hand.”
When finished everyone returned to the Teepee to
turn in their hands. The top three hands then won
monetary prizes. Glen 12 gave away half of what they
took in. The1st place winner was Patty Little G15
with 25%, the second place winner was Debbie Earl
G4 with 15% and the third place winner was Ross
Greco with 10% of the total money pot.
You all get a virtual Eagle’s feather for all your hard
work giving all property owner’s a fun, fun day!

Everyone should carry a Winter Survival Kit in their car. In an emergency, it could save your life and the lives of
your passengers. Here is what you need:

a shovel

windshield scraper and small broom

flashlight with extra batteries

battery powered radio

water

snack food including energy bars

raisins and mini candy bars

matches and small candles

extra hats, socks and mittens

First aid kit with pocket knife

Necessary medications

blankets or sleeping bag

tow chain or rope

road salt, sand, or cat litter for traction

booster cables

emergency flares and reflectors

fluorescent distress flag and whistle to attract attention

Cell phone adapter to plug into lighter
Kit tips:
Store items in the passenger compartment in case the trunk is jammed or frozen shut.
Choose small packages of food that you can eat hot or cold.
911 tips:
If possible, call 911 on your cell phone. Provide your location, condition of everyone in the vehicle and the problem you're experiencing. Follow instructions: you may be told to stay where you are until help arrives. Do not
hang up until you know who you have spoken with and what will happen next. If you must leave the vehicle,
write down your name, address, phone number and destination. Place the piece of paper inside the front windshield for someone to see.
Survival tips:
Prepare your vehicle: Make sure you keep your gas tank at least half full.
Be easy to find: Tell someone where you are going and the route you will take.
If stuck: Tie a florescent flag (from your kit) on your antenna or hang it out the window. At night, keep your dome
light on. Rescue crews can see a small glow at a distance. To reduce battery drain, use emergency
flashers only if you hear approaching vehicles. If you're with someone else, make sure at least one person is awake and keeping watch for help at all times.
Stay in your vehicle: Walking in a storm can be very dangerous. You might become lost or exhausted. Your vehicle is a good shelter.
Avoid Overexertion: Shoveling snow or pushing your car takes a lot of effort in storm conditions. Don't risk a
heart attack or injury. That work can also make you hot and sweaty. Wet clothing loses insulation value,
making you susceptible to hypothermia.
Fresh Air: It's better to be cold and awake than comfortably warm and sleepy. Snow can plug your vehicle's exhaust system and cause deadly carbon monoxide gas to enter your car. Only run the engine for 10
minutes an hour and make sure the exhaust pipe is free of snow; Keeping a window open a crack while
running the engine is also a good idea.
Don't expect to be comfortable: You want to survive until you're found.

On Sunday evening of Labor Day weekend from 6 till 7:30 pm , 33 IACT kids showed up to “Gone Fishin’” at
Lake Mattaponi. There were three ages groups: ages 4-7 years old; 8-11 years old and 12-15 years old. The
winner in each age group was the one who caught the most fish. As each fish was caught, they had to bring
it to the “official counter” with the fish still on the rod where it was then taken off an thrown back into the lake.
Thanks goes to the Sportsman Club for money to buy prizes, Jim Longton and Nippy Ricci who both donated
a new fishing rod for prizes, and Donna and Terry Moore for spearing heading this event each year and Libby Hall for helping with the registration and fish counting. It was a fun-filled day for kids and parents as can be
seen here with all the happy faces. Thanks for all who came out to enjoy this fun event for the kids. Winners
were: 1st place: PJ Bailey (8-11) with 9 fish; 2nd place: McKayla Jones (4-7) with 8 fish; 3rd place: Jeremiah
Luck with 4 fish and Austin Powell (12-15) with 3 fish. Each child that participated went home with a prize.

Long ago in the days of the ancestors, some of the
children of the people were having strange, frightening
dreams. As the children talked to other children, the
troubling dreams spread among them like a plague.
The parents of the children were concerned. The people wanted their children to be happy but they didn’t
know what to do. The people went to talk to the shaman. The shaman listened patiently as the parents told
of their distress.
needed was something to capture the dreams as they
were carried by the air. Try as they might, the shaman
and the elements could not think of a way to catch the
dreams.
The shaman told the parents that he could help. But he
would need to spend some time in counsel with the
spirits before he would have a solution. The shaman
would have to enter the dream world to find the answer. Upon entering the dream world the shaman was
approached by the four elements: Air, Earth, Water
and Fire.
The shaman brought the dreamcatcher with him when
he made his journey back from the dream world. All of
the families of the people made dreamcatchers. The
families hung them above where the children slept, in
a place that was seen by the sun. No longer were the
children troubled by unwanted dreams. Instead they
had happy dreams and peaceful sleep. And so, at last,
Great Spirit looked into the dreams of the children and
smiled!
Grandmother Spider had been listening! She said,
"Beautiful, loving elements, I can help you as you help
me every day." Grandmother Spider continued, "I can
weave a special web that only wanted dreams can escape down to the dreamer." And so she did, and the
first Dreamcatcher was made.
Air had already heard of the parent’s concern, and had
carried the message on the wind to the other elements. All the spirits in the dream world loved the children and wanted to help return the children to their
state of peaceful sleep. The elements and the shaman
dreamed together for a long time. They finally came to
understand that.
Air could carry the children’s dreams. Earth could hold
the dreams within her hoop. Water could wash and
separate dreams - the wanted from the unwanted.
Fire could use the morning sun to burn up the unwanted dreams that are caught in the web. Now all they

What is a Dream Catcher?
Submitted by Kim Latham
Dream catchers are arts and crafts of the Native American people. The original web dream catcher of the Ojibwa was intended to teach natural wisdom. Nature is a profound teacher. Dream catchers of twigs, sinew, and
feathers have been woven since ancient times by Ojibwa people. They were woven by the grandfathers and
grandmothers for newborn children and hung above the cradleboard to give the infants peaceful, beautiful
dreams. The night air is filled with dreams. Good dreams are clear and know the way to the dreamer, descending through the feathers. The slightest movement of the feathers indicated the passage of yet another beautiful
dream. Bad dreams, however, are confused and confusing. They cannot find their way through the web and are
trapped there until the sun rises and evaporates them like the morning dew.
Originally the Native American dream catcher was woven on twigs of the red willow using thread from the stalk
of the stinging nettle. The red willow and twigs from other trees of the willow family, as well as red twig dogwood
can be found in many parts of the United States. These twigs are gathered fresh and dried in a circle or pulled
into a spiral shape depending upon their intended use. They used natural feathers and semi-precious gemstone, one gemstone to each web because there is only one creator in the web of life.
How To Make A Dream Catcher
Submitted by Kim Latham
What You Will Need
 A strong hoop about 6 inches in diameter
(Hint! An embroidery hoop works really well and you can find that at a craft shop)
 Thread, yarn or twine
 Feathers
 Beads
 Felt, a small rectangle
 Glue
What To Do
Take your hoop and either wrap it with thread or yarn to cover it. Or if you rather, leave it as is. It’s up to you.
Take a long piece of thread and tie it onto the edge of your hoop.
About an inch and a half from that first knot wrap the thread over the hoop again.
Put the thread between the loop you’ve made and the hoop. Almost like a little twist of the thread.
Pull the thread taut. Again an inch and a half away make another stitch to the hoop, just like the one before.
Keep going! This is the same stitch for your entire dream catcher! Whew, you thought there’d be more of that,
huh?
Once you get to the end of the first circle of stitches, meaning you’re back where you started knotting the
thread to the hoop, instead of the hoop use the first line of stitches as your anchor and keep stitching
away! Make sure that the loop stitch of the second circle ties at the middle of the anchor string. That will
pull the thread just right to make the dream catcher look like a web.
If the beads you’d like to use fit onto your thread or yarn add them wherever you like in between stitches.
Once you get to the center, knot the thread to one of the stitches and leave some length to the thread, you’ll
use it to attach the feathers.
If the beads you’d like to use do not fit onto your thread or yarn take smaller thread and sew them into some
of the stitching now.
Take the long end thread, your feathers, a small rectangle of felt and your glue. What you’re doing now is
gluing the feathers to the thread. Then you will wrap where they meet with the felt. A dab of glue should
be enough to join all those together.
Attach a final loop to the top of your dream catcher so you can hang it above your bed.
Have sweet dreams!

In Loving
Built By
Memory
Roy Sill
Native Americans thought animals
watched over them that they called
“totems” which meant “brother.” As they
carved them into poles, they told a story of
that family. Around the Totem Pole tells
the story of our IACT family. We will print
monthly birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, special events, graduations, awards,
in memory of—or you tell us.
We dedicate this page in loving memory of
Roy Sill (Glen 8) who built the beautiful
Totem Pole seen here and is located on
the IACT putt-putt course. Thanks Roy, we
will never forget your kindness.
On September 7, 2015, a group of
IACT property owners gathered at
hole one of the Putt-putt course.
The occasion was to formally dedicate the beautiful Totem pole that
was made by Roy Sill. Roy donated it to IACT just before his tragic
accident in 2013 Lorie Sill, Roy’s
wife, was there as a plague was
installed on the Totem pole. IACT
President Donna Moore also presented to Lorie a framed plague in
remembrance of Roy along with
some roses. Claire Erwin, Rec
Center, promised to care for it.

we wish you the best one ever! Happy anniversary to everyone in December.
The only anniversary we were sent in January is from some other fairly new property owners. Ed and Gail
Garcia of G3 L31 will be celebrating their anniversary on January 3rd. Cuddle up, it could be a cold day!
Happy 26th anniversary to Alec and Tabatha Hetrick of G7 L92 on February 3rd. We bet they will have a
wonderful day and might just be cooing with their new grandson Mason. Enjoy your day!
Another 26th anniversary will be celebrated on that special day of love—Valentine’s Day-February 14th. Jimmy
and Charlene Robey of G6 L35 will be putting the l-o-v-e in love as they celebrate together.
Kenny and Bonnie Limerick of G9 L319 will be celebrating their anniversary on March 3rd. Do you think maybe
they will be playing cornhole together that day? Bet they will have a fun day!
Andrew and Jessica Hendricks of G8 L25 will be married 5 years on March 8th. We hope that your day is
special and a lovely day of happy memories. Happy anniversary!

Pow Wow II has been hearing about some people who are making donations and finding
ways to make our IACT community better and more fun for everyone—young and old.
We would like to recognize our IACT stars by giving them a virtual feather for their headdress. For Native Americans, the feather represented a brave act or something that
helped their tribe. They would collect them and the most coveted one was from the Eagle. So let’s give out some virtual Eagle feathers. We apologize to those we don’t know
about but did wonderful things as this is not meant to slight anyone. It’s meant to show
how wonderful people are here. So, who wants to give a virtual feather to someone?
Our first virtual Eagle’s feather goes out posthumously to Roy Sill for his giving heart. Roy donated the beautiful
Totem pole at hole one on the IACT putt-putt course just days before his tragic accident. We will all enjoy it for
years to come.
Tim and Joyce Waggett would like to give a virtual Eagle’s feather to15 year
old Matthew Peterson of G11 L77 who came to their lot after dark offering to
help them get their golf cart back to their lot after he saw it on the side of the
road on Tonto Drive. Very unexpected and very welcomed gesture from such
a nice young man. And one to Bill Thomas G5 for giving us a ride back to our
lot after it died a second time. You both have earned a feather! Thanks!

Our administration department would like us to give a virtual Eagle’s feather to
Wanda Gale for the Italian ice that she shared with the office employees on
Labor Day weekend. Please accept this token for your headdress.
As this is our last Pow Wow II for the season, our team would like to give a
virtual Eagle’s feather for all those volunteers, property owner’s, family members and guests who made this
camping season so much fun. You all have a start on your headdress.
A promise is a promise that I have to keep to both Claire Erwin (Rec dept.) and Melinda Sexton as they wanted
to give me a virtual Eagle’s feather for heading up the Pow Wow II for 7 months this season. So thank you
guys, I will wear my feather proudly. Love you guys! Joyce
Another virtual Eagles feather goes out to our IACT Board of Directors who gave countless days and hours
keeping our campground running. We also include
our Director of Operations Debbie Sutton, the staff
in admin, Site Control, Maintenance, Custodial, and
Security. It’s a tough job and the property owners
appreciate all that you do. Thank you!
NOTICE
Please send us your stars so we can publish what they are doing in, around
and for IACT! We can give them a virtual Eagle feather! We will publish on a
first-come basis as we can fit it on this page. Thanks!
(None of these people sought out this recognition as Pow Wow II found out
through third parties. So surprise someone and spill their beans to us! We love
saying “Thanks!” and seeing those headdresses grow with feathers.)

To get you through the off-season,
Pow Wow II wishes everyone:

Remember to thank a Veteran on Veteran’s Day but don’t forget on all the other days of
each and every year too. Many died for our freedoms and others are wounded warriors
and others work and play next to us every day. We owe all the men and women veterans
so very much including the right to enjoy our beautiful Indian Acres! Thank you VETS!!!
And the winner is…
Joyce Graves of Glen 9 Lot 244
was the big winner of the Hi-Sun
golf cart raffle held at IACT this
summer. Joyce bought the winning ticket just that day. And never fear, the jug was well shaken
up by several people attending
the drawing at the teepee on Sunday, Sept. 27th at Noon time.
The owner of the company that
sells these golf carts was on hand
to draw the lucky $20 winning
ticket.
Thanks for all who bought tickets
and had the dream of riding
around IACT in this baby. Wave
to Joyce as she drives by with
that big winning smile.
