" V Serving on Grand Ronde Royalty enhances the lives , our Tribal youth girls y providing leadership and personal growth activities. It allows them to serve as ambassadors pf the Tribe which provides positive public relations on behalf of the Tribe and surrounding communities. " Jf . , All contestants for royal- ty must be enrolled Grand ; Ronde Tribal members between 5-18years-of-age. Because the girls act as a Tribal representative, it in also a requirement that they be in good f standing in school and uphold a ' positive image at all times. The girls are competing in three categories, Little .Miss Grand Rondd, Jr. Miss Grand Ronde, and Senior Miss Grand Ronde. The competition consists of two parts; participation, which is based on a points system, and the pageant. Points are earned buy partici pating at pow-wows, volunteer ing for fundraisers andspcial events, and selling raffle tickets for the Annual Pow-wow. Each contestant is required to earn a minimum amount of points to be eligible to compete in the pageant competition. The pageant is held just prior to the beginning of the Annual Pow wow on August 17. Each contestant is judged based on the deliverance of a speech, a personal interview, and a dance competition. ; The judges will compare the ' participation points with the pag ; eant points and determine a win ; ner for each category just prior j to Grand Entry. The girls will be crowned and begin their reign ? ; ;. I ; with Grand Entry. During their time on Grand Ronde Royalty, the girls will learn im portant life skills. They will travel to pow-wows and special events and gain experience in pub lic speaking. They will have communications and interaction with both Tribal. and non-Tribal representatives, and will learn about responsibil ity, accountability, and respect for others.
