Pilgrim also has eighteen grandchildren, twenty seven great grandchildren and a great great grandchild.[10] In 1982 Pilgrim was seriously ill with cancer. Pilgrim claims that she asked the Creator to let her live as she had lots of friends and family who relied on her, and that, she had a lot left to do in the world. Ever since that time she has had a transformation and gravitated to a very spiritual type of life - even though Pilgrim admits to have initially being reluctant to travel her spiritual path as she doubted her worthiness for this task.[11] Sacred Salmon CeremonyA ceremony to welcome, bless, and thank the returning salmon each year was held by the Takelma tribe, as well as many other Indian tribes in the northwest United States and Canada, .[3] However, for 140 years, due to the loss of traditional ways, the ceremony was not performed publicly by the Takelma tribe.[8] To revive the ceremony, Pilgrim and her late husband Grant Pilgrim (Yurok tribe), visited with area tribes that continued to perform this ceremony. Following numerous visits to ceremonial and spiritual gatherings of northwest tribes, the Pilgrims brought back their version of the ceremony to Southern Oregon.[12][13] Due to Pilgrim's contribution in returning the Salmon Ceremony to Jackson County, she is known to some locals as the 'Keeper of the Sacred Salmon Ceremony'.[5][14] A great deal of interest has since been shown by the National Geographic magazine and the World Wildlife Fund and Martha Stewart due to the unprecedented increase in salmon seen in the river since the ceremony has been performed.[15]{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} The ceremony is annually held on the bank of the Applegate River in Southwest Oregon[12] Konanway Nika Tillicum (All My Relations) Youth AcademyWhile studying psychology and Native American studies at Southern Oregon University at the age of 50, Pilgrim co-founded the Konanway Nika Tillicum (All My Relations) Native American Summer Youth Academy.[8] She is the Elder-Woman-in-Residence for the Academy.[16] The International Council of 13 Grandmothers{{Main|International Council of 13 Grandmothers}}In 2004, Pilgrim was approached by The Center for Sacred Studies to serve on the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. Pilgrim is the oldest of the Grandmothers and was elected as the council's Chairperson.[17] The Council has been active in protecting indigenous rights and medicines, promoting ancient wisdom. Pilgrim considers the International Council of 13 Grandmothers not to have come together by accident, coming at the eleventh hour to be "a voice for the voiceless."[18] In 2008, she traveled with the group on "a trip to Rome to try to get Pope Benedict XVI to rescind historical papal bulls, which played a role in the genocidal onslaught of indigenous people worldwide," according to Indian Country Today Media Network.[19] LegacyPilgrim's likeness is featured in the bronze statue, We Are Here, in downtown Ashland, Oregon. Pilgrim attended the dedication ceremony on May 24, 2013.[20] Notes1. ^Schaefer (2006) p.15 2. ^{{Cite news| title = Heartland: Just Like Grandma Told You| work = Utne Reader| accessdate = 2013-06-16| url = http://www.utne.com/2007-11-01/Heartland-Just-Like-Grandma-Told-You.aspx}} 3. ^1 McCowan, K, (2004) 4. ^Schaefer (2006) p. 2 5. ^1 2 {{Cite web| title = Agnes Baker Pilgrim - North America at Evergreen| work = The Evergreen State College| accessdate = 2013-06-17| url = http://www.evergreen.edu/events/springcolloquium/agnesbaker.htm}} 6. ^Agnes Baker Pilgrim {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090406124809/http://www.agnesbakerpilgrim.org/NewsDetails.asp?NewsID=39 |date=April 6, 2009 }} 7. ^Baker-Pilgrim A.
