In mid-March she traveled to Washington DC and participated with over 100 Parent Ambassadors from across the country. She is one of only a few tribal representatives in this group! During this trip she visited Representative Dereck Kilmer from the House and she promised to send him a Port Gamble S'Klallam flag for his Washington DC office. He was responsive and grateful! In addition, she had connections with leadership within DHHS and they made promises to assure that AIAN children and families are all served in the important early childhood programs across our native lands.... Rayna is a shining star who brings her heart as she walks in these new paths of lifelong learning!”
