On the agenda for the Memorial
Whoop, whoop, whoop!
Portland Native Community's own, Terry Cross, director of the National Indian Chikl Welfare Association and long-time friend of John Talley will emcee the event.
Sande Bea Allman, cultural expert and Community leader is handling the protocol, ceremony and feast; she and her parents were John's friends, too.
Native musicians have sent music and local Native veterans will offer a song to honor Mohawk elder and Korean war veteran, John Talley.
The whole Community is coming together to put this on and it's going to be beautiful...Come one, come all.
