children. I am the oldest
daughter to Kerry Dean
Rhoan, who is a member
of the War m Springs
Tribes. I am writing this
letter in regard to the
adoption. It is an honor to
be considered for adop-

about how wonderful it is
to be a tribal member and

small child. It is important
for me to carry on the his-

Indian heritage to my chil-

has been practiced giving
more insight to tribal cus-

these values to my chil-

the Warm Springs Tribe.
This has been a desire of
mine since I was a very
small girl, and feel just a

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.
