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 mailing address
box moved from the bottom left corner of the front page to the top left
corner, which will save the Tribe approximately $40,000 in postage
costs annually. In addition, Smoke Signals started being printed on
heavier, whiter paper to make the publication easier to read and have
a crisper look. "Iloth of these changes are win-win situations a better
product for less money," Rhodes said.
2002 - The building that housed the Tribe's residential youth
treatment facility Nanitch Sahallie, which was operated by the Tribe
for more than 10 years, was sold to the Salem chapter of the Union
Gospel Mission. Union Gospel has said it will re-open the facility as
a women's shelter.
1997 - Grand Ronde Tribal Klders Peachie Ilamm and Marie
Schmidt represented the Tribe at the bronze casting of a burden basket
in Uoring. Plans are pending to have the bronzed basket on exhibit in
Grand Ronde later in the month.
1992 - A feature on Tribal Court highlighted Judge Lee Marston,
Deputy Court Clerk Dakota Sangretta-Whitecloud and Court Clerk
Jackie Whisler. "The Tribe can govern itself under its own laws,"
Marston said. 'The people have the right of home rule. That's a very
powerful tool."
1987 - The Grand Ronde co-ed volleyball team took third place in
a 10-team tournament held in Yakima, Wash. The Shiams Chinook
for "grizzly" - included Dean Azule, Jackie Colton, Jim Willis, Gregg
Leno, Teri Holsclaw, Mark Mercier, Tammy Fry, Shelley Hansen,
Greg Archuleta, Doug Colton and Kathy Delaney.
Yesteryears is a look back at Tribal history in five-year incre
ments through the pages of Smoke Signals.

RESTORATION continued
from front page
in an attic, a storage unit or a loved
one's closet, Brown says, and they
could help fill in a sparsely archived
period in Tribal history.
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.
