Jo s h u a Dane Hurtado Smith Dear People of Warm Springs: Hello, my name is Kayla Desirae Casey, and I’m 27 years old. My Great Grandmother was Jeanette Br uno, my Grandmother is Lupe (Garcia) Samuels, and my mother is Roxanne Jeanette Langnese-Chi- nook. My sisters are Kira Langnese-Cook, and Jenaea Langnese-Frye. I lived with my mother Roxanne and my sister Kira on my reservation since I just turned 2 years old. My mother relapsed in 1997, and I was forced to live with my father in Idaho. My mother won custody back of me in 2001, and I have lived in Bellingham, Wash., ever since. I graduated from War m Springs Head Start, Early Childhood Education, and attended Warm Springs Elemen- tary. I want to be a Warm Springs Tribal Member because I am very proud and identify with my War m Springs/Wasco heritage, and memories of growing up here. I am an artist like my mother, grandmother and great grandmother. In 1996, my sister Jenny Langnese and my cous- ins Eric and Tama Langnese were adopted in and became tribal mem- bers. My sister Kira and I missed being adopted in only by a handful of votes. It was a very sad time. However, I hope you will please vote for me and my sister, and all of us that are eligible for adoption. It will be an honor to say I am a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs In- dian Reservation. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Kayla D. Casey (Langnese) I am writing this let- ter to say why I would want to be enrolled with the Warm Springs Tribe. The answer is simple, for a sense of belonging to my heritage. My father Kelly Rhoan has always raised me to be proud of my heritage and where my family came from. From a very young age I was made aware of where my father and the rest of the family are from, also being fortu- nate enough to visit with aunts and uncles and other family members as a child and also as an adult. I am very proud of my Native Ameri- can background and would be honored to be adopted into the tribe, to be able to not only have honor in knowing what my heritage is, but to have a sense of own- ership and pride in knowing that I am part of it. Thank you so much. Brooke Rhoan-Soshea. I truly desire for my kids to become members. They are proud of their heritage and want to be able to do more with their lives, if they become mem- bers. Thank you for your caring consideration at the voting. Sincerely, Kerry Rhoan (son of Gordon Rhoan, grandson of Lizie Amiel. am active in my church and community, and know I would be a great addition to the tribe. I hope you will consider me for adoption. I would be so honored to be a member and represent the tribe of the Warm Springs Reservation. Thank you for your consideration. Kristin Rhoan Perales.
