Easter events kick off with hunt on Saturday, April 7

Tribal Housing's annual Easter Egg Hunt will start at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 7, in the covered area on Raven Loop and kick off a series of Easter-related events that day.

The Easter Bunny (aka Tribal Council member Steve Bobb Sr.) will return to help hide the eggs and pass out Easter candy to participants.

Age categories for Easter egg hunters will be 1 to 4 years of age, 5 to 8 and 9 to 12. Hunters should bring their own basket.

After the hunt, the Tribe's Indian Child Welfare Program will hold a Fun Walk beginning at 10: 30 a.m. Saturday, April 7, to be followed by an 11:30 a.m. lunch in the Tribal gym.

The Fun Walk will start in the parking lot next to the Community Center and end at the Tribal gym. T-shirts will be distributed to everyone who participates in the walk.

During lunch, there will be door prizes and informational booths.

The event is being held in conjunction with Support Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Following lunch, Family Movie Night (or afternoon in this case) will feature the Easter-themed movie "Hop" in the Tribal gym.

Dessert will be served and include a sundae bar with all the toppings. Six Easter basket door prizes will be given away.

The movie is sponsored by the Tribe's Youth Prevention Program and Community Awareness Team.
