Joint Session Of
Tribal Elder Kathryn Harrison
the Grand Ronde Honor Guard
By Ron Karten
It was Valentine's Day and
it was Oregon's birthday. It
was the kickoff of the state's
Lewis & Clark Bicentennial
Commemoration, and hot
on its heels on Tuesday, February
15, it was Native American Day.
The moment called for the ulti
mate in legislative pomp and cer
emony, a joint session of the Legis
lature bringing together House
and Senate members. It was a time
when no state business was at
tempted. It was a time to honor
the past.
