My name is Robbie Clements (Ah-K’aw-Mah) (curly headed woman). I am the daughter of Dorla Yeahquo and the late Robert Clements. On my mother’s side, my Tahn Tday is the late Mary Yeahquo Yellowhair Tanedooah, and my Kone Tday is the late Maurice Yeahquo. My great grandparents include Edward Yeahquo and Mae Quoetone, and Samuel Yellowhair and Julia Tainpeah. I am also a direct descendant of Guipago, Old Chief Lone Wolf, the Last Principal Chief of the Kiowa Tribe, and Chief Red Cloud of the Oglala Lakota.

I was raised in Carnegie, Oklahoma, where I graduated in 1996. I later attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University and earned my bachelor’s degree in social work with a minor in Child Psychology in 2005. My future goals are to obtain a master’s degree in a Leadership field.

I am the proud mother of three children: Adriel, Kaygan, and Matthew. My son Adriel works through his company AC Media and uses photography and videography to connect with youth while advocating for mental health awareness. My daughter Kaygan is a fourth-grade teacher in the Putnam City school district and is in her second year of teaching, and my youngest son Matthew is currently in college pursuing a degree in Agriculture and will graduate in 2027.

For more than twenty years, I worked with the Department of Human Services in Child Welfare. I spent the last ten years serving as a supervisor, helping lead teams and supporting families through some of the most difficult moments in their lives. That work strengthened my commitment to helping people and finding real solutions for our communities.

After careful thought, research and guidance.  I made the decision to run for Kiowa Tribal Chairperson alongside Paula Anderson. Together, we bring a balanced approach to leadership. Mrs. Anderson has strong experience in both tribal governance and business, while my background is deeply rooted in health and human services and state governance. Our goal is to work together to help build a stronger, self-sufficient Kiowa Tribe.
