Grandmother Agnes Baker Pilgram

Grandmother Agnes Baker Pilgrim

Agnes Baker Pilgrim (Federated Tribes of Siletz) is the oldest living member of her tribe. Grandmother Agnes has been honored as a treasure of her people. She brought back the traditional Salmon Ceremony along with other traditions that were soon forgotten. She is the oldest on the Council at age 94 and the spokesperson for them. She has been an outspoken "voice for the voiceless", speaking out for animals, trees, the water and all beings. They just named a mountain after her in Oregon to honor her work in the world.

“Menla is one of my favorite retreat centers in the world. The natural beauty, the wonderful staff and great accommodations always make the experience of leading a retreat effortless and graceful. The blessings of HH Dalai Lama and many other Great Beings who have been there usher us into our own True Nature with joy and ease.”
