decide!
Eight Tribal Council interviews have
been posted at www.spreaker.com,

Tribal incumbents Cheryle A. Kenne-

frich, Steve Bobb Sr., Victor Cureton, Brent Merrill and Jonathan
R. George all sat down with Smoke Signals Editor Dean Rhodes

enrollment issues, the Multnomah Greyhound Park property in
Wood Village, possibly building a grocery store in Grand Ronde, a
Tribal free press and the size of Tribal government.
