My name is Alicia George-Bailey. I’m from Aitchelitz First Nation, which is a part of the Ts’elweyeqw Tribe, and a Swinomish Tribal member from La Conner Washington. My parents are Hereditary Chief Angie Bailey and William Bailey. I am actively involved in my culture, from Canoeing to Winter longhouse gatherings and Summertime powwows.
I am currently the Executive Assistant for Aitchelitz First Nation. Prior to working for Aitchelitz, I was the Lands Clerk for the S.A.Y (Skowkale First Nation, Aitchelitz First Nation and Yakweakwioose First Nation) Lands Office. My job duties were not limited to, but included: Lands Registry, housing, events coordinator, and administrative support. I have also worked as the Community Comprehensive Planner for Aitchelitz and the Housing Maintenance Coordinator for Skowkale. I sit on multiple committees for the Stó:lō Xwexwilmexw Treaty. I have volunteered a lot of time helping my community for community engagements and deliver supplies to members during this pandemic. I’m currently getting mentored for future political involvement.
