“This is not something that a person sub-
mits or asks for,” he said. “However, it is a
huge honor. If selected, we (he and his wife, Rhonda) are going
to dedicate the award to both our moms who just passed on this
year, especially my mother-in-law Cathie, who really supported my
music medicine journey. Voting is part of this and open through
the end of August.”
Reibach, who also works as the Tribe’s Lands Department
manager, has received almost 70 awards for his Native America
flute music over the last two decades, including six NAMAs in 32
nominations. 

Police Department has
non-emergency text line
The Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department has created a non-emer-
gency text line at 541-921-2927.
“Even though this is mostly designed for children, I don’t want adults
thinking that they can’t use it as well. If you have a non-emergency situ-
ation or question, feel free to contact my officer via text through this line,”
said Grand Ronde Tribal Police Chief Jake McKnight. “When one of my
officers receives the text, they will call you back when they have time.”
McKnight said that emergency situations still require calling 911.
For more information, contact McKnight at 503-879-1474. 
