“The story of the Grand Ronde Tribe is a story of a people’s resilience, a people’s relationship to place, and a people’s perseverance through their culture. As a tribe, the responsibility to tell our history and our own story lies with ourselves and no one else.” -- Cheryle A. Kennedy, Chairwoman, Grand Ronde Tribal Council, June 5, 2018
