Youth selected

to represent tribe

Congratulations to the 2023-24 Chehalis Tribal
Royalty elected by tribal elders on the evening of
May 24 in the Chehalis Tribal Gathering Room.
Representatives chosen include Tayleena Klatush
(Miss Chehalis), Kaytlin Pickernell (Junior Miss
Chehalis), Aryana Klatush (Lil’ Miss Chehalis) and
Tamika Starr (Miss Head Start Chehalis).
The youth will participate in tribal events
throughout the year. They already represented
the Chehalis tribal people during Tribal Days on
Memorial Weekend and during the Swede Day
Parade in Rochester.
Thank you to the elders who attended the election
dinner celebrating our new Chehalis Tribal Royalty.

The 2023 Chehalis Tribal Royalty will represent the tribe at cultural events throughout the year. We look
forward to having strong representatives and future tribal leaders.
