To all Tribal members, I am writing a letter to everyone because it affects everyone. I just want to talk about Tribal Council and other leaders in our Tribe. I think our people have suddenly forgot that we are all one. So when one person assumes or makes com ments about one person or a person's family it will affect a lot more people than you realize. As a leader, you need to act in a manner to represent everyone as a whole. Like the old saying I have heard time and time again, "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all." In the long run, it does nothing for you to put someone down. We all need to realize people make mistakes. It's a great leader that can admit that they made a mistake. So please remember you are our youth role models. One day they will be our leaders, so act in a manner that you want them to act. Please, make it easier on everyone and re spect everyone. Thank you, Rebecca Knight Roll 1783 All CTGR Tillicum, Grand Ronde made a good showing this past weekend at the Klamath Restora tion Celebration in Chiloquin, Oregon. Our Grand Ronde Tribal youth did an excellent job representing and holding it down for Grand Ronde.
