I am a Siletz Tribal member, my roll #652. I was born in Toledo, Ore. My mother’s name is Martha Case Moody. My father is Bruce Butler Jr. Maternal grandparents: Ethel Logan Gardipee and Edward Case Sr. Paternal grandparents: Bruce Butler Sr. and Jane Hollis Butler. I have served three terms on the council. I am the TC rep for 1) Oregon Youth Authority; 2) Culture Department; 3) LLC for Siletz and Grand Ronde; 4) Child Pro- tective Team for ICW; and 5) I also attend and support the CEDARR group, which is a support group for Youth Prevention and the A&D Department. We gather once a month; our goal is to educate and prevent the use of drugs and alcohol in our community. I care about our people and our children. I am a very spiritual person and I believe that our Native ways are the only hope that some of our people have for health and happiness. It’s easy to get caught up in the political realm of the TC, which can cause Tribal members to feel their needs are not important. I will continue to listen and strive for equality for all. Thank you for your support in the February election. Sincerely, Loraine Y. Butler All entries must be received no later than March 7, 2014.
