My journey with the Nez Perce

My journey within the Nez Perce Nation has been one of continuous learning and unwavering dedication. I am the daughter of Marcus Arthur and Diana Broncheau. My paternal grandparents were Joshua Arthur and Rosaline Hayes, and my maternal grandparents were Daniel Broncheau, Sr. and Dora George. From my modest beginnings, I have grown through active participation and a commitment to community improvement. Every step has reinforced my belief in the power of collaboration and the importance of integrity. I am passionate about our future, and I am excited to share my vision for the NPTEC with you.
