Tribal Elder and Vietnam Veteran Steve Rife completed the 265-mile Trail
of Tears walk in time to make Grand Entry at the Veterans' Pow-wow on
Saturday, July 7. Rife dressed in regalia made by his wife, Margie, in whose
name he made this walk, and carried an eagle staff made by his sister,
Tribal member Pearl Mekemson. Rife was joined in the last mile by friends,
relatives, and members of the Grand Ronde Honor Guard.
