Now I would like to introduce myself to the readers of SMOKE SIGNALS. My name is Tracy Olson, and I am the new Newsletter Director. I am a tribal member, and a recent graduate of the University of Oregon. I have many ideas and goals concerning the newsletter, but I primarily want to create a paper which offers entertaining and informative articles for all tribal members, whether they live in Oregon, or some other state. One of the first things I learned when I began working for the Confederated Tribes of grand Ronde is that there are many changes, events, and activities happening locally and nationally that directly affect tribal members' lives. It is my responsibility to make sure all valuable tribal news in printed in the SMOKE SIGNALS. If you have a comment or idea concerning the newsletter, I would like to hear from you. Please feel free to offer suggestions, either in writing or in person. I am looking forward to meeting more tribal members and serving the newsletter for a long time. - '.My Tracy Olson Smoke Signals EDITOR TRACY OLSON Smoke Signals is published monthly by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon, 9615 Grand Ronde Rd., Grand Ronde, OR 97347.
