Photos by Michelle Alaimo
Francis Allan, a Willamette University Institute for Continued Learning
student, looks at photos of Tribal Elders hanging In the Elders' Activity
Center during the group's visit to Grand Ronde on Tuesday, April 24.
The students have been studying about Oregon Native Americans with
an emphasis on Grand Ronde because the university is located in the
Tribe's ceded lands, and they wanted to visit the Tribe to see Tribal
Council at work and meet Tribal Elders. The Institute for Continued .
Learning serves retired and semi-retired persons over the age of
50 who wish to explore opportunities for continued learning in an 1
academic environment.

2007 A group of Tribal members and Tribal Council members
took a two-mile hike from Cascadia State Park to Cascadia Cave to
bless the area and share ideas on how to preserve the 8,000-year-old
petroglyphs. These specific petroglyphs are believed to have been
carved in rock by Kalapuya Indians.
2002 - Tribal Chairwoman Cheryle A. Kennedy and Tribal Coun
cil members June Sell-Sherer and Val Grout reviewed some 50,000
historic documents shared with the Tribe through the Coquille Tribe
and University of Oregon. The materials were copies of important,
Tribal-related information from Tribes all over the Northwest, in
cluding maps, treaties and pictures.
1997 Tribal Council nominations were set for Sunday, May 4,
at the Community Center. All nominating persons and nominees
must be at least 18 years old and be an enrolled member of the Tribe.
All nominees had to be present at the meeting to verbally accept or
decline the nomination.

1987 - Grand Ronde Tribal Council Chairman Mark Mercier and
Education Specialist Dean Azule attended a luncheon meeting with
Oregon Gov. Neil Goldschmidt at the State Capitol Building. The
meeting was arranged by the Commission on Indian Services and
provided Indian leaders the opportunity to meet the new governor
and discuss Indian and state-related issues.
