We love living history...
​Samuel & Ginnese have both been involved in 1800's living history thru years of participating in R
endezvous, Native American pow-wows, & Civil War reenactments...
​They have lived out of different sizes of teepees, primitive lodges & a log cabin tree house...
Both Samuel & Ginnese hunt, tan hides, create leather wears, & have spent time living in the wilderness tapping into primitive skills from our country's forefathers... As well as spending time in Alaska studying the native culture & lifestyle...Both have been engaged in youth camp & are true pioneers when it comes to actually living what they teach...


Take note... this is not a Native American Pow-wow nor are we part of a tribe or a treaty...
Camp Hinneah is a privately owned faith-based entity that benefits our non profit *Chic In The Woods * helping at risk youth & local woman...
These amazing experiences are for living history education, wilderness education, & to celebrate what truly built this country... most everyone involved is a volunteer & not Native American...
Ginnese Oglesby loves to teach on her Cherokee roots...
​Each volunteer has a background in what they teach...
