The fun begins the moment you sign up.

Ready to join in the fun? Sign up today. Every year, in late August through September, the YMCA forms new tribes. Events like ice cream socials and the Pancake Powwow are great ways for you meet current Indian Guides. After you chat with some folks, visit the YMCA main office and sign up. You don’t even have to wait until September to join. You can join anytime and become part of an existing tribe.

Part of being a member of the Anopi Nation is choosing your Indian Name. It's part of the Anopi tradition and we use them to greet each other. It's also used as your user name when writing stories on the website and also your user name for receiving the Smoke Signal, our offical email newsletter for the Nation. To help you choose your own unique name please use the search button below to search for Indian names that are already in use. Try to choose a name that has meaning for you and hasn't been used before.
