Stories of
Grand Ronde Royalty
Past and Current
The Land and Culture Department launched a new Oral History project on March 1 st , 2015.
This project highlights the stories of our past and current royalty contestants and facilitators.
We encourage any Tribal Members who have participated in Royalty to share their experiences so they
will be available for future generations by becoming part of the Tribe’s archives here at Chachalu.
What we accomplish today becomes tomorrow’s history.
Please contact Stacey Runningbird at 503-879-2381 to set up a time to share your story.
