In addition to Grand Ronde Royalty, girls may also apply to be
involved in the Veterans' Royalty. The Veterans' Royalty also
appears at the Grand Ronde pow-wow, other Grand Ronde tribal
events, and travel to different veterans' events, pow-wows, and
cultural gatherings that the Color Guard also attend. If you or
someone you know is interested in participating in a Royalty
Court for the upcoming year, now is the time to start thinking
about it. Royalty Court is an excellent chance for young mem
bers to represent their Tribe with pride and dignity. It is an
obligation which requires a lot of time and commitment, but it's
also a tremendous honor. Girls cannot participate in both the
Veterans' Royalty and the Grand Ronde Royalty, so please
choose the Royalty Court you are most interested in.
All interested girls must be able to meet the following guidelines in order
to be eligible for the Veterans' Royalty Court:
Girls must be enrolled members of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand
Ronde. .
Participants should have never been married and have no children.
All girls must be enrolled in and currently attending a public or pri
vate school.
All girls participating must be drug and alcohol free.
They must have one year pow-wow experience.
They must have their own regalia, or be able to make their own rega
lia before the application deadline. Participants must be willing and able
to attend all veterans' events, and be prepared to represent the veterans
and the Tribe.
Must have a parent or sponsor willing to participate and attend activi
ties with the girls andor provide transportation. .
Royalty Court participants and their parentsponsor must attend all
required events (pow-wows, parades, fund-raisers, organizational meet
ings and others). Absences can be prearranged with the Royalty Com
mittee Advisor. Three unexcused absences will result in disqualification
from Royalty Court. Please note that all participants receive 1 point for
every event. Royalty Court participants are expected to stay for the du
ration of the events. This includes helping setup for events such as meet
ings and parades, as well as dancing during Grand Entry and staying
until the flags are retired unless pre-approved with the Royalty Advisor.
Participants are expected to speak in front of large groups of people. Roy
alty Court participants must be willing and able to dance. Remember:
You are all part of a team and are expected to treat yourselves, running
mates, and others with respect at all times.
As of July 9, 1999 girls must be 9 to 13 years of age for Junior Queen;
and 14 to 18 years of age for Senior Queen.
Entries must be received by Tuesday, March 7, 2000.
