Alex Wilkinson
Meet Alex Wilkinson, a Tribal mem
ber to be very proud of. She will
graduate from Shorecrest High
School in Shoreline, Washington,
this spring and has just been
accepted at the University of
Washington for next fall. (Not
an easy accomplishment.) She
worked very hard! Alex was en
rolled before the tribal enrollment
standard was changed in 1999.
She is a proud descendant of the
original people of the Columbia
Gorge. Our family wrote many let
ters opposing the casino based
on our heritage there.
A very proud Grandma.
