Candidate for Lincoln’s Royalty
G reetings!
My name is Feliciana Conner
and I am a candidate for Lincoln’s
Day Powwow Queen. I’m cur-
rently selling raffle tickets in the
community.
I am 18 years old, and grew up
in the Warm Springs community
and of the Wasco, Umatilla, and
Tohono O’odham tribes.
My birth mother is Essie
Lawson (Warm Springs) and my
father is Marcus Conner
(Umatilla).
My maternal grandparents are
Estelle Lawson (Brunoe) and Elliot
Lawson.
My paternal grandparents are
Marcus Stone Harrington and Kit
Conner. My foster parents are
Alyssa Macy and Ken Kippley.
I am a student at Central Or-
egon Community College where I
am pursuing a degree in Nursing.
At school I participate in the
First Nations Club, and in my free
time I enjoy snowboarding and
spending time outdoors.
Feliciana Conner, candidate for Lincoln’s Powwow Queen.
This past summer I participated
in a 22-day sea-kayaking and moun-
taineering course with NW Out-
ward Bound, and completed a four-
day 57-mile backpacking trip down
the Rogue River with my foster
mom.
For the raffle, you can purchase
tickets from me in person or
through paypal (paypal.me/

chase tickets from Alyssa Macy at
the tribal administration building.
