Y-Princess Pawnee Nation
Our Indian Princess Nation is part of the Beach Cities YMCA in South Orange County in Southern California.
The Y-Princess Pawnee Nation was incepted in 1931 and is one of the oldest Indian Princess Nations in the Country.
The mighty Pawnee Y-Princess Nation is comprised of over 100 Dads and daughters from the Capistrano Beach Cities area serving San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point and Laguna Niguel.
The Y-Princess program is different from many other activities because it is specifically intended to be a father and daughter organization. We are all very business with a wide range of activities, including business and family, but emphasize spending time with your kid while they are still a kid.
Our group goes from Kindergarten to 4th grade. We currently have five tribes, the Ahwahneechee, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Fox and Shawnee.

Our `07 - `08 Program starts in September under the direction of Pawnee Chief Bill Ryan, former Ahwahneechee Tribal Chief, who has proven himself as a skilled leader throughout last year's very successful program. We are sure he will bring the same direction, energy, commitment and many volunteer hours to the Pawnee Nation that he did with the Ahwahneechee.
Together with our War Chief Talking Bull (Morton I. Smith)

of the Shawnee and the other tribal chiefs, we have grown the Pawnee Nation with new recruits back to its 100 man strength of past years.
The Beach Cities YMCA is excited to be expanding this program this year and are looking forward to a very successful program and calendar of activities.
