Who Are We?
We are a group of approximately 100 families in the Western Suburbs of Cleveland (primarily Lorain County) that get together to celebrate and build upon the bonds with our children. We volunteer our time to plan and attend fun events with our kids including campouts three times per year, overnighters at museums, and other fun activities such as bowling, skating and pinewood derbies. We invite you to join us. Please click on the link to find out how you and your kids could join us today! You’ll be glad you did!
History of Native Sons & Daughters
The Native Sons and Daughters Programs (TM) are the carrying on of a Native American Indian theme parent-child program that was started many years ago, from an idea borne out a hunting trip taken in the early 1920’s by Harold S. Keltner, then a St.Louis YMCA Director. On this hunting trip, Keltner’s guide and friend, Joe Friday, an Ojibway Indian, remarked that it is the Indian father who raises his son, while the white man relinquishes this to the mother. Inspired by this campfire discussion, Keltner and Friday initiated the first tribe in 1926. The Native Sons and Daughters Programs (TM), independently founded in 2002, continues that tradition that began so many years ago. The Keltner and Friday families officially support the Native Sons and Daughters Programs (TM).
