4 NOVEMBER 1,2012 Smoke Signals Rosarians honor Bobb 2007 New Publications Coordinator Dean Rhodes announced changes to Smoke Signals to make the Tribal newspaper more aes thetically pleasing and less expensive to produce.

The need, Brown says, is becom ing more pressing. Since the Tribe's 25th anniver sary celebration in 2008, it has lost several high-profile and key players who worked diligently during the 1970s and early 1980s to get the Tribe restored. Elders Russell Leno, Dean Mer cier and Nora Kimsey, among other Restoration figures, have walked on. Brown says Cultural Resources would love to acquire photos of the bake sales, car washes, picnics and dances that were held to finance Tribal members' efforts during the drive toward Restoration. "I know my aunt, Eula Petite, had photos," Brown says, "but I'm not sure where those photos went to." Any personal letters mentioning the Restoration effort also would be historically valuable, as would original Tribal documents, Brown says. "We're looking for original docu ments from Tribal Council in their efforts toward Restoration. ... We would love old letters that even mention any of the events or activi ties that had to do with Restoration," Brown says. "I would love to hear from people who we have not heard from before. People who want us to have their oral histories archived in our collection. I am hoping that people will get interested in getting their family histories recorded." Brown also would like Tribal Elders who up to now may have been reluctant to talk about the era to come forward and record oral histories about the Termination to Restoration era. "If we could add three or four photos, a letter or two and an oral history or two that we haven't heard, it would just be awesome," Brown says. Brown can be contacted at the Tribe at 503-879-2186 or julie. browngrandronde.org.
