Anyone recall the wonderful YMCA Indian Princess Program?

My daughters and I loved it. We did it around 25 years or so ago over a period of 8 years due to their age overlap. We had around a dozen fathers and more daughters at any given time. Our tribe, the Tontos, was the #1 tribe in the Nation by the second year we became involved Native Americans were always referred to with admiration and reverence and respect. Of course a few years after we aged out, the YMCA nationwide was besieged until the program ended. My daughters now in their 30’s and I often reminisce fondly about those years.
