Geocache Description:

Chirpa was the head of his Ewok tribe's Council of Elders in the Bright Tree Village on the forest moon of Endor. The gray-furred Chirpa carried a reptilian staff denoting his rank which carried the teeth and horns of animals he had hunted. He and his wife Ra-Lee had two daughters: Asha and Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka.

By that time, Chirpa had been chief of the village for forty-two seasons. When the Rebels arrived on Endor, he went along with Logray's idea to offer the newcomers as a sacrifice to the "golden god." But when he saw the powerful magic they were capable of, he realized that he had erred. He decided that the Ewoks should listen to the newcomers' story. After hearing C-3PO tell their tale, Chirpa convinced the village elders to make them honorary members of the tribe. Because the Empire's construction on the moon had disrupted the hunting cycle and had killed many trees, Chirpa decided that the Ewoks would join with their new tribe members and fight the Empire When the time came, his warriors were courageous and skillful in the face of a superior enemy and managed to defeat them which had fulfilled a prophecy of a successful holy war they would eventually launch to protect their way of life. After the battle, Chirpa convinced Princess Leia Organa to lead a ceremony to promote Wicket to "lead warrior." As a token of friendship between the Alliance and the Ewoks, Chirpa gave to Leia a bracelet made of gold, a handsome gift as any metal was a precious commodity to the Ewoks. Later on, following Chirpa's death, his daughter, Princess Kneesaa, became the new chief of Bright Tree Village in a ceremony that doubled as her wedding to Wicket Warrick. Ok, this cache was built in the quality of a Village Chief.

ALSO, since this GC is the only Ammo Box in this town the F-T-F will receive a small gift just like Leia did after the Battle of Endor! The FTF will receive a custom made GC built by myself. It is a small high quality GC (cell phone case) painted and fully equipped ready to go. That’s right, with a log; cache note, pen, and swag! All you need to do is find a great place to hide it and upload it. I hope to find it sometime! Please place back where found.

Congrats to TeamMoehrke FTF!!
