My name is Candy Robertson (George) and I was born and raised in Grand Ronde,
ray birthdate is October 18, 1946. I have five children and have family,
many relatives, and friends that live in or around the Grand Ronde area. I am
married to Jess Robertson, whom was born in McMinnville and was also raised in
Grand Ronde. Grand Ronde is my home and I am very proud to say that it is. In
1978 I started working for the Tribe as a Sr. Citizen transportation driver,
directly following this, I worked as a Sr. Citizen Outreach worker here in
Grand Ronde. I enjoyed my job very much, it gave me a great opportunity to work
within the Tribe. I am now and have been involved with the Title IV program,
which is an Education program for all Indian children. I served as Sec.Treas.
for three years on the Title IV Parent Committee. I have served on the Tribal
Council in the past years and am now currently serving as Sec.Treas., for the
Tribal Council. If I am elected to serve as a Councilperson on the Interim Council
I will work very hard for you at helping our Tribe reach their many goals, such
as Housing, that will improve living standards, Education for our children, and
to serve our Elders in any possible way that we can. Establishing our Constitu
tion and By-Laws are of great importance to our Tribe now and in the future and
I would be very proud to serve you as an Interim Councilperson in establishing
these. I'd appreciate your votes. NOVEMBER 22, 1983-"RESTORATION!" a day we
will never forget. RIGHT?? JJC

Because i have served you well in the Past, you know you can count on me to
serve you well in the Future
I live in Grand Ronde, OR. and would like to continue to work towards the
betterment of our Grand Ronde People now that we have returned to the family of
Indian Nations. My interest is in carrying out the goals of the restoration effort,
bein a part of the Interim Council and assisting with the forming of the Constitution
and By-Laws is one of them., because it will be effecting our future generations.
I have been elected 'as Secretary of the Tribal Council here and have been,
also, appointed to the position of Vice-Chair during the time I moved here from
Coos Bay, OR. in 1981. At that time, I became employed here as Community Organizer
for the Tribe and it was my responsibility then, after serving as Enrollment Clerk
for three (3) months, to gather support for our restoration effort. I have good
rapport with other Tribes as well as organizations. I have represented the Grand
Ronde1 s as a delegate to the Affiliated Tribes of N.W. Indians, the Native American
Program of Oregon Legal Services( who were so instrumental in our restoration ) : their
Advisory Board, The National Coalition to Support Indian Treaties, Oregon Indian Council
on Aging, and am on the Board of Directors for the Chemawa Indian School Alumni. Dur
ing the three trips to Washington, D.C., two were to lay the ground-work for our Bill
and one to testify? I am familiar with that political arena and they know me, too. This
is true at the local and State level, too. I feel that my work speaks for itself
my credibility, responsibility, interest, dedication and accountability.
My personal background is: born in Corvallis, Or. on March 28, 1924 my
parents were Ella (Fleming) and Harry W. Jones, my father was a full-blood Santiam
Molel. I attended Chemawa Indian School, graduating in 1942; attended Lane Commun
ity College Nursing Program, graduating, 1972 as a Licensed Practical Nurse. .Worked
with the Siletz Indian Alcohol Program as Counselor-trainee, as an Outreach'Worker
for Lane County and for the Coos County Indian Alcohol Program, and have always been
involved with the Title IV and Indian Parent Committee.
