Leaders Oregon Indian Education Association (OIEA), an organization that
promotes drug and alcohol prevention among Native youth, voted two Grand Ronde
Tribal students on to the representative board. Tribal members Tony Perkins, 15,
(below) and Alicia Sehwyn, 16, were elected out of 2 18 students. Perkins was elected
President and Sehwyn was elected Secretary of the four person board. "I think OIEA
teaches very useful skills for the future," said Selwyn. OIEA has one annual confer
ence per year, but meets quarterly to discuss future functions. OIEA is open to
students in grades eight-1 2 that can maintain a C average or better. "I get to meet
a lot of people," said Perkins, "and I think we set a very positive example."
