Recreation Department
awards survey prizes
2007 Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongo.ski visited the Tribe to sign the
first state-Tribal proclamation with Tribal Chairman Chris Mercier.
The proclamation was the first step toward giving Grand Ronde
Tribal members increased access to game for ceremonial purposes
outside of state-mandated hunting and fishing seasons, as well as
permitting the Tribe increased management of its own lands.
2002 Tribal Education Director Marion Mercier greeted guests
at an open house for the Tribe's new $6.8 million Education campus
held inside the new Tribal gym. With more than 30,000 square feet,
the new campus is large enough to meet the Tribe's educational needs
for the foreseeable future.
1997 The Tribe's new Health Clinic was nearing completion and
was scheduled to open in October. Tentative plans called for Tribal
staff to move in between Sept. 8-15. Tribal members were asked to
be patient as many staff members would be moving their offices.
1992 The Tribe's annual powwow, set for Aug. 14-16, included
a Teen Sober Dance, co-ed volleyball tournament and Sunday grand
entry featuring the Kahurangi Maori Dance Theater of New Zea
land. 1987 During the Royalty Pageant, Cindy Martin was selected
1987 Miss Grand Ronde and Mario George was picked at 1987 Junior
Miss Grand Ronde.
Yesteryears is a look back at Tribal history in five-year in
crements through the pages of Smoke Signals.
