FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Three Rivers Foundation Awards

$1.1 Million To More

Than 100 Oregon Nonprofits

Florence, Ore. -- The Three Rivers Foundation, established by the

Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians

as the charitable arm of its Three Rivers Casino Resort,awarded

$1.1 million in funding to 117 organizations in Oregon.

Three Rivers Foundation is honored to impact the missions of

these nonprofit organizations. With almost ten thousand nonprofits

operating in Oregon, funding is crucial. The Foundation received

a major increase in applications this year, allowing it to grant 62

nonprofits first-time grant funding.

“It makes my heart feel good,” said Doug Barrett, Tribal Council

member. “It feels good getting to see what these organizations

are doing with the money, whether it be the food banks, helping

the youth through their struggles, whatever the money goes, it is

pretty awesome.”

The Three Rivers Foundation supports innovative ideas,

collaborative approaches and grassroots efforts in education,

health, public safety, problem gambling, the arts, the environment,

cultural activities and historic preservation.

Several members of the Tribal Council were present at a February

16 luncheon at the Florence Casino held to honor the grant

recipients.

“When I have a rough time throughout the year, “I think of today

as a positive energy that’s going on in this room, helping the

community, bringing the community together, and strengthening it.

What a positive thing to do,” said Chief Doc Slyter, Confederated

Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians.

The Cascades Raptor Center was one of the 117 nonprofits to

receive funding. The Foundation awarded the popular center

$10,000 to expand its educational programming.

“Now we will be able to serve more communities, rural communities

who don’t have the means to rent buses or make it to the raptor

center for education,” said Jennifer Monegan, Senior Development

Officer Cascades Raptor Center. “It’s such an incredible gift to the

community from the Three Rivers Foundation.”

Children’s Repertory of Oregon Workshops (C.R.O.W.) received

$21,000. It will use the funding to support its main stage musical,

The SpongeBob Musical. “It’s amazing, and we are so grateful for

the funding,” said Melanie Heard, founder of C.R.O.W.

“The Three Rivers Foundation is incredible! They do so much for

the community; every need has been met and is truly touching.

The arts are really important, and it was very special that the

Three Rivers Foundation recognized that.”

Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County received $25,000.

It plans on using the grant to fund its outside healthy habitat for

its kids and teens to use in the cold and rainy winter and spring

THE VOICE OF CLUSI

Tribal Council Corner

Hello everyone,

I am Brad Kneaper, your Tribal Chair.

I would like to give an update on the Constitutional Amendment process that we are

considering. On January 28, 2023, Tribal Council met with legal to go over the Constitution

to discuss possible areas that may need to be updated. Keep in mind that this is a

difficult and complicated process, and this short article cannot capture all the information.

However, there will be more information coming. Additionally, if and when this vote

happens, you will have the option to vote for each proposed amendment individually.

If you agree with one you can vote yes, and not another you can vote no on that one.

You will also have the opportunity to provide feedback prior to the vote both virtually and

in written format. Any amendments will be approved by tribal membership, not Tribal

Council.

At the Sunday, February 12th Regular Council Meeting, a couple Tribal Members spoke

to Council that they were unclear on this process and reported that they had heard that

there was a ‘fear’ among other Tribal Members that this was a move to “disenroll” people

from the Tribe. This could not be further from the truth, and in fact just the opposite.

There are currently some issues in the constitution that prohibit enrollment of people that

are clearly entitled to be enrolled. While you will be getting further detail, we are looking

at verbiage similar to the verbiage in the Restoration Act that was not carried over to the

Constitution that made the Constitution more restrictive. To reiterate, there is no one

seeking any actions of disenrollment of any Tribal Members, or to prohibit the enrollment

of anyone entitled to be a member of our Tribe.

A few have asked where we are with the Hunting and Fishing co-agreement agreement.

The next step for is a presentation to the state Fish and Wildlife Commission in April. Once

that happens, we will update membership with any information that becomes available.

Be safe everyone, and we will keep everyone up to date on these topics and others.

Offshore Wind Energy:

Tribal Engagement in the Planning Process- Where are we now?

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this process, please contact Courtney Krossman at

Contributed by Courtney Krossman, Tribal Historic THPO@ctclusi.org.

Preservation Officer

On January 26, 2023 CTCLUSI Tribal

Government met with the Bureau of

Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for

government to government consultation.

This meeting came just one month shy of

a full year since BOEM issued the “Call

Areas” off the Oregon Coast. CTCLUSI

has written many letters in response to

BOEM moving forward with exploring

offshore wind energy on the Oregon

Coast. At this meeting, Tribal Council and

staff expressed concerns of the impacts

to our ocean viewsheds, submerged

landforms and their associated features,

resident and migratory species, and our

local fisheries.

On June 12th, 2022, CTCLUSI passed

resolution No. 22-087, expressing

limited support to offshore wind energy

development in the Coos Bay and Brookings

Call Areas. CTCLUSI called upon BOEM

to engage in meaningful government- togovernment consultation with the Tribe to

avoid or mitigate impacts to Tribal cultural

resources to the satisfaction of the Tribe.

The resolution also states that the Tribe

will take all necessary action to oppose

BOEM’s actions or otherwise ensure

Tribal Language Revitalization Meeting

Contributed by Enna Helms, Language Associate

On February 10th, the Cultural and Education Departments

had a meeting with the Northwest Indigenous Languages

Institute (NILI) from University of Oregon and the Oregon

Department of Education (ODE).

NILI was founded in 1997 to support tribes’ efforts in

language revitalization. It has grown its outreach over the

last 25 years and hopes to chart out a path for the next 25.

They hold annual classes for community members centered

around language documentation and revitalization from

Tribes not only in the Pacific Northwest but around North

America. They met with us to see how they can help support

our programs. We took them on a tour of Cape Arago/

Baldija and they provided everyone with a delicious lunch

of street tacos. Over lunch we talked about the history of

the Tribal Hall. In the afternoon ODE met with several tribal

departments (Education, Culture, Tobacco, Drug and Alcohol

Prevention) to talk about grants and programs they have for

Native students at all ages.

Hosting these meetings allows us to build relationships

with one another that helps facilitate long term working

relationships and gives us lines of communication to other agencies to help our Tribal families.

The languages that are part of the

exhibition are the quuiich (Lower Umpqua)

The 4th Annual Storytelling Night was a Success!

Contributed by the Culture Coalition

On Friday evening of February 10th the

Cultural Coalition hosted a storytelling

night at the Tribal community center.

The event space was decorated with

our native foliage, story murals and

illustrations welcoming our guests. There

were 45 attendees and everyone had a

good time. Eddie Helms, our long time

beloved community chef cooked salmon

hash, chowder, venison stew and other

delicious dishes. Dylan Brainard helped

Eddie in the kitchen. Tribal Elder and

Vice-Chair Julie Siestreem contributes,

“Elder and Tribal Councilman Doug

Barrett prepared a fire in the plank house

for members to sit or stand with to send up

prayer of thankfulness for all our blessings

and ask for continued support for all life’s

challenges we are all dealing with.”

After dinner, we began the night with

an ice breaker of some good ole trivia

presented by Nicole Romine, Tobacco

Prevention program, about Tribal culture

and history for everyone to play. Then,

Patty Phillips and Brenda Brainard shared

some traditional stories. Pam Stoehsler

shared some family stories and talked

about the meaning behind several of

her paintings in the Community Center.

Renee Roman Nose (Cheyenne), with

the Oregon Department Education shared

some of her poetry. Several youth and

young adults shared jokes and songs,

and many people present knew the songs

and joined in. A great time was had by all

and we look forward to carrying on the

storytelling tradition next year.

risk for

for colorectal

cancer?

The risk of developing colorectal cancer

increases as you get older. That’s why

screening is recommended for everyone

ages 45 to 75.

What are the different kinds of

tests?

Several different kinds of tests can

be used to screen for colorectal

cancer. The main types are:

• Stool-based tests

• Tests that look directly inside the

colon and rectum

Stool tests are done at home. You

collect a stool (poop) sample and

send it to a lab for testing. Then

the lab sends the results to your doctor.

Tests that look directly at your colon and

rectum — like a colonoscopy — happen

in a doctor’s office or hospital. For these

tests, you need to take a laxative to clean

out your bowels before the appointment.

You’ll get anesthesia before the test, and

you’ll need someone to drive you home

after the test. Your doctor will tell you how

to get ready for your test, including if you

need to avoid certain foods beforehand.

Does it hurt to get a colonoscopy?

Preparing for a colonoscopy can be

unpleasant, but most people agree that

the benefits to their health outweigh

any discomfort. And getting anesthesia

means you won’t have any pain or feel

uncomfortable during the test.

How often should I get screened for

colorectal cancer?

How often you need to get screened will

depend on:

• Your risk for colorectal cancer

• Which screening test you choose

Take control — act early

If you start getting screened at age 45,

you have a good chance of preventing

colorectal cancer or finding it when it can

be treated more easily.

• If your doctor finds polyps inside your

colon during the test, they can remove

the polyps before they turn into cancer

• If your doctor finds cancer during the

test, you can take steps to get treatment

right away

Get Tested

The best way to prevent colorectal cancer

— or find it early — is to get tested starting

at age 45. Talk with your doctor about

getting screened.
