Iliana Montiel, Position 5

Julie Siestreem, Position 3

Enna Helms, Position 1

with Tribal Government. Congratulations

to Council members Enna Helms, Julie

Siestreem, and Iliana Montiel on your reelection to your positions on Tribal Council.

Each of them shared a few words for

membership:

Councilwoman Enna Helms has this to

say, “Dear Tribal Community Members,

I am humbled and honored to have been

re-elected to position 1 in the recent

Tribal election. I want to take a moment to

specifically thank all candidates for running

and express my deepest gratitude to all

of you who took the time to cast your vote

and show your support. I am committed

to continuing to serve this community

with dedication and passion. I believe

that this starts with a strong foundation of

communication, respect, and transparency.

This means open lines of communication,

actively listening to all feedback, being

upfront and honest about decisions,

treating community members with respect

and dignity. These values are important

to creating a positive and supportive

community. Thank you again for your trust

and support. It is truly an honor to serve our

Tribal community.”

Director of Indian Health Service Visits CTCLUSI

Contributed by Morgan Gaines, Communications Specialist

Indian Health Service (IHS) Director Roselyn Tso met with

members of Tribal Council during a site visit in early April as part of

the IHS Leadership tour for 2023. Throughout this tour of Oregon

and Washington, IHS met with several Tribal Councils and health

care facility leadership to speak on their shared commitment to

ensuring all facilities are actively meeting the needs of the Tribal

communities they serve.

This is the first time the Tribe has been visited in person by IHS,

so it was a momentous occasion to have Director Tso herself

Council Election...continued from cover page

Councilwoman Julie Siestreem shared, “Dear fellow members

of our Confederated Tribes of Coos Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw

Indians, please know, I am humbly thankful, grateful, blessed

and honored for all the support I received to continue my role as

Position #3 Tribal Council for the next four years. My commitment

has and will continue to be full-time for the best interests of the

General Membership.

Additionally, please remember, I am one vote of seven and,

am committed to collaborating with all fellow Council members in

every decision we make.

With sincere respect and appreciation for all our Ancestors and

previous Tribal Council members who have built a solid foundation

for us, I believe our future is bright with promise for our next seven

generations.”

And finally, Councilwoman Iliana Montiel expressed that, “I

would like to extend a huge thank you to those that re-elected me.

It was very humbling and I received some very kind emails. I will

do my best to achieve the goals I had listed. I truly want to move

our tribe forward in a positive way. I invite tribal members to come

to the council meetings to share their needs and to stay informed.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time.”

The elected Council officials take office directly following the

certification of the Election results. As per Tribal Code Chapter

1-9 Tribal Council:

“1-9-4 Officers of the Tribal Council (a) Election of Officers The members

of the Tribal Council shall elect from its members a Chairperson and a

Vice Chairperson. [CLUSI Const. Art. IV, Section 1] Officers shall be

nominated by Tribal Council members and elected by a majority vote of

the Tribal Council. (b) Terms of Office Except as provided in CLUSITC

1-9-4(c) below, the officers of the Tribal Council shall serve from the time

of their election as officers until the expiration of their current term on the

Tribal Council.”

Due to this code, Julie Siestreems’ term as Vice-Chair ended as

her previous term on Council ended. Therefore, the Tribal Council

was tasked with voting and appointing the position of Vice-Chair.

Tribal Council held a special meeting on April 13, 2023 to fill the

role of Vice-Chair. Council Member Doug Barrett was elected

by vote of Tribal Council to fill this position. Council would like

to express their deepest gratitude to Julie Siestreem for serving

in this role previously. They are grateful for her service and look

forward to continuing to work side by side with her on Tribal Council

in service to all Tribal membership.

CTCLUSI Welcomes Director of Human Resources

Ginny Hall has joined CTCLUSI as our

Director of Human Resources at Tribal

Government in Coos Bay, Oregon. We

are excited to have her join the team. She

brings with her many years of experience

in management at various financial

institutions and private employers as well

as human resource experience such as

recruitment, hiring practices, employee

development, coaching/training, employee

relations, performance reviews and so, so

much more.

Ginny’s

Educational

background

started with Lafayette College in Easton,

Pennsylvania where she graduated with a

degree in Finance and Economics.

Her career began on Wall

Street, eventually growing

and bringing her out to the

West Coast and the state

Washington.

Career

opportunities

eventually

brought her further down

the coastline where she took

up residence in Bandon,

Oregon.

Halfway through her career

in management she began to

incorporate the front end of human

resource work. She enjoyed it so

much she transitioned full time

into human resources five

years ago. Ginny received

an advanced certification

from the Society of Human

Resources

(SHRM)

because of the value that

she felt it provided to her

knowledge base. Within

the next year, she plans on

obtaining another certification

of human resources that is

specific to Tribal Governments.

While she knows that local,

federal and state entity regulations

can parallel Tribal Government,

Ginny is aware of just how

unique Tribal Government

codes and policies are.

Sovereignty allows Tribes the

ability of self-determination

on how they operate their own

governments.

Ginny is a huge advocate

of employee engagement and

employee wellbeing and hopes to

participate in PRAISE and add input

and supportive ideas for new/

enhanced fun and exciting

ways for employees to enjoy

their work and be the best

employees they can be to

serve Tribal membership.

“It’s an honor to work with

CTCLUSI and I am thrilled

to be a part of the team!”

Ginny

believes

wholeheartedly in giving

back to her community

through volunteerism. She

has volunteered at various

opportunities in Bandon such as

SMART in the Bandon School District, the

Bandon Holiday Community Meals and

the Bandon food pantry, Good Neighbors.

When not at work, Ginny enjoys

spending her time outdoors with various

activities such as running, hiking, biking,

beachcombing, sailing & horseback riding

(when opportunities arise), canoeing,

gardening, and of course long walks and

playtime with her favorite gal Casey, a

five-year-old yellow Lab.

Tons of Fun at Spring Break Camp 2023

Contributed by Morgan Gaines, Communications Specialist

Spring Break Camp was held at the

Tribal Community Center in Coos Bay,

Oregon from March 27th to March 31st.

Over 55 youth ages 5 to 10 signed up

to attend. Eight youth from the Klamath

Tribe Youth Council also attended and

graciously invited our youth to attend the

9 Tribes Youth Summit they will be hosting

this August. Youth were grouped into five

separate “clans” by age to be grouped

into for activities during the camp week.

Each group had a staff member, youth

counselor, and counselor-in-training to

guide the youth thru their daily events.

Throughout the week youth had tons of

fun learning about their traditional culture,

filling the days with tons of fun activities,

as well as went on a number of field trips.

They began the week getting reacquainted

with old friends and meeting new ones.

The morning was filled with introductions

to their traditional languages and followed

up with a trip to the Pottery Company in

Coos Bay where they painted ceramic

keepsakes.

The following day, on Tuesday, March

28th they spent the day at the Oregon

Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston,

Oregon. Here they learned about the many

different types of algae that grows and

thrives on the Oregon coast, as well as

the numerous creatures

that call the bay home.

They collected algae

and made pressed

cards. Afterwards they

explored the amazing

Marine

Life

Center

and got up close and

personal with creatures

in the various touch

tanks.

The groups traveled to Florence,

Oregon mid-week where they split off into

smaller sized groups and rotated activities

throughout the day. All the groups helped

plant indigenous plants on the Hatch

Tract property to help with its continued

restoration. Horseback riding was a big

hit at the C & M Stables. This was the

first time a lot of the youth had with riding

horses and the staff at the stables made

the experience one to remember. And to

round out the day’s fun, rounds of mini

golf at the SandLand Adventures Putt

Putt, go karts, and bumper boat rides had

everyone smiling.

As the week was ending, one last big

adventure was at hand. On March 30th the

group traveled to Winston, Oregon where

they spent the day exploring Wildlife

Safari. The drive through wild life park

was a big hit, as well as the walking thru

portion where they could get up close and

personal with some of the animals that

call the park home.

The evenings where filled with a wide

array of activities, from beading, playing

traditional games, movie nights, cultural

trivia, plant identification, archery, fishing,

storytelling, drumming and songs, as

well as good old-fashioned hanging with

their new friends. The last day of camp

the youth spent with doing language and

story presentations with Tribal Elders,

performing skits and finishing up their

projects from the week.

Thank you to all the youth and families

that joined us throughout the week. It was

so great to be able to gather everyone

together. A huge thank you and shout out

to the staff and youth who helped prepare

the amazing meals throughout the week,

and to those that helped with the big task

of cleaning up after each meal. Work like

this can often go unnoticed but is so vital

to having events like these run smoothly.

people able to attend included; Adam

Davis, Executive Director of Oregon

Humanities, Zachary Sticks, Executive

Director of Oregon Black Pioneers, Bobbi

Price, Director of Yachats Chamber of

Commerce and, Honorary CTCLUSI

Member Joanne Kittel Board, Member of

The event began powerfully with the

Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians

Tribal drumming, showing pictures in

the backdrop behind the stage which

included one of our own CTCLUSI

canoes, with our members and Tribal

flag flying. Dancers both young and old

danced proudly in full regalia between

the visitors and made their way to the

stage in a moving performance.

Siletz Chairwoman Dolores Pigsley

gave inspirational opening remarks.

Over 500 people registered for this

year’s Tourism Conference. Those in

attendance were given the choice of

attending one of three sessions that were

being held simultaneously. The session

that Chief Slyter, Joanne Kittel, Zachary

Sticks and Adam Davis presented was

titled “Building Trust and Relationships

in Community Through Authentic

Storytelling.” Well over 200 people

attended their session. After the session

many from the audience came up to

meet the speakers and ask questions.

Later, Chief Slyter wondered, “How

many seeds of knowledge were

germinated today, if any, and will I see

their positive outcome in my lifetime.”

Planning for the Golden Years

Contributed by Barbara Black, Tribal Navigator/Community Health Aide

On April 11th and 12th, CTCLUSI hosted

Planning for the Golden Years at the Three

Rivers Casino Event Center. This was

a very informative packed 2-day event

enjoyed by all.

Tuesday afternoon began with speaker

Melissa Andrion from Lane County Senior

& Disability. She spoke of long-term

services and the resources it can help

provide when Elders need extra help in

their care. This includes assessments

based on needs that will help empower

and understand what service options may

be needed, in addition to making informed

decisions.

Followed up with Lualhati Anderson, from

Coos, Health & Wellness. She showed us

how to do it our way and the importance

of filling out the Advanced Directives. Key

information given is to not let your family

be wondering what your wishes are. Do

not presume they know. Have a written

plan in place, so there is no doubt what

our Elders want for their final care.

Wednesday morning, Elders were

welcomed to a nourishing hot breakfast.

Karen Costello, Associate Judge for

CTCLUSI Peacegiving Court, started the

morning off with Estate Planning. She

touched on many points for our Elders

to think about. Probate, wills, revocable

trusts, banking choices, real property

choices and so much more. She also

shared what a possible growth future may

look like to develop a legal clinic to assist

Elders. Stay tuned for future updates.

Iliana Montiel shared a personal

experience explaining what hurdles and

barriers she had to overcome with her

own mother. She shared to enlighten the

Elders to be aware of how important it is

to not assume that the person that will be

taking care of the them or their loved one

will know what their wishes are. Ask these

questions now, for example: Medication

lists, provider names, surgery dates.

Ending segment, but so important

was Medicare 101 presented by Jodie

Delsere of Lane County SHIBA. She had

a wealth to share. She acknowledges

it can be very confusing. Please

remember that SHIBA (Senior Health

Insurance Benefits Assistance) is about

providing comprehensive information

about Medicare and other related

health insurance. They want to help

you analyze plans and supplements.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Contributed by Dennita Antonellis-John, Public Health Improvement Coordinator

What is mental health?

Mental health includes our emotional,

psychological, and social well-being. It

affects how we think, feel, and act. It also

helps determine how we handle stress,

relate to others, and make healthy choices.

Mental health is important at every stage

of life, from childhood and adolescence

through adulthood.

Although the terms are often used

interchangeably, poor mental health and

mental illness are not the same. A person

can experience poor mental health and

not be diagnosed with a mental illness.

Likewise, a person diagnosed with a

mental illness can experience periods of

physical, mental, and social well-being.

Why is mental health important for

overall health?

Mental and physical health are equally

important components of overall health.

For example, depression increases the

risk for many types of physical health

problems,

particularly

long-lasting

conditions like diabetes, heart disease,

and stroke. Similarly, the presence of

chronic conditions can increase the risk

for mental illness.

Reference:

Can your mental health change over

time?

Yes, it’s important to remember that a

person’s mental health can change over

time, depending on many factors. When

the demands placed on a person exceed

their resources and coping abilities, their

mental health could be impacted. For

example, if someone is working long

hours, caring for a relative, or experiencing

economic hardship, they may experience

poor mental health.

How common are mental illnesses?

Mental illnesses are among the most

common health conditions in the United

States.

• More than 50% will be diagnosed

with a mental illness or disorder at

some point in their lifetime.

• 1 in 5 Americans will experience a

mental illness in a given year.

• 1 in 5 children, either currently or

at some point during their life, have

had a seriously debilitating mental

illness.

• 1 in 25 Americans lives with a

serious mental illness, such as

schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or

major depression.

What causes mental illness?

There is no single cause for mental illness.

A number of factors can contribute to risk

for mental illness, such as

• Early adverse life experiences,

such as trauma or a history of abuse

(for example, child abuse, sexual

assault, witnessing violence, etc.)

• Experiences related to other ongoing

(chronic) medical conditions, such

as cancer or diabetes

• Biological factors or chemical

imbalances in the brain

• Use of alcohol or drugs

• Having feelings of loneliness or

isolation

One place to turn for help is the Tribal

Health Reaching out InVolves Everyone

(THRIVE) project at Northwest Portland

Area Indian Health (NPAIHB). THRIVE is a

suicide prevention project at the NPAIHB.

THRIVE works to reduce suicide rates among

American Indians and Alaska Natives living

in the Pacific Northwest by increasing tribal

capacity to prevent suicide and improving

regional collaborations.

Florence Oregon Area Kayakers Display Photos, Tribal Canoe Artifacts

Posted Apr 7, 2023 - thesiuslawnews.com

April 7, 2023 — The Florence Oregon Area Kayakers, a

group of kayaking and paddle-boarding enthusiasts from

around the Central Oregon Coast and Lane County, will

display photos of their kayaking adventures in the Siuslaw

Public Library entrance hall,1460 9th St, Florence, throughout

the month of April.

In addition to the display of photos by members, the group

has worked with the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower

Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians to put together a display

of information and artifacts about the Tribal use of local

waterways, around which the Tribes centered their lives.

For at least 8,000 years, and probably more, before

kayakers started plying the lakes, rivers and estuaries of the

South-Central Coast as the indigenous people were actively

engaged in what the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower

Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians call “canoe culture.”

The Tribal display will include replicas of canoes the Tribes

have used for centuries to traverse the rivers and lakes,

Tribal Judge Attends Oregon Municipal Judges’ Association (OMJA) Conference

Contributed by Diane Whitson, Tribal Court Administrator - Peacegiving Court Outreach Coordinator

Associate

Judge,

Karen

Costello,

represented the CTCLUSI Tribal Court at the

Oregon Municipal Judges’ Association (OMJA)

Conference held in Newport, Oregon March

22-24. The conference was attended by more

than one hundred Oregon Municipal Judges

and Justices of the Peace. Judge Costello

was one of only two Tribal Court Judges in

attendance. She is the first Tribal Court Judge

to be offered membership in OMJA, due, in

part, to her efforts to develop cooperative and

collaborative relationships with municipal and

state court judges, and to promote inclusion of

Tribal Courts in the administration of justice in all

forums where tribal members or the interests of

tribes may be present. Judge Costello enjoyed

the opportunity to share information about

CTCLUSI’s Restorative Justice initiatives, such

as Peacegiving, and Wellness Court, as well as

the Tribal Court’s general jurisdiction in its fivecounty service area. Judge Costello was named

to the OMJA board during the conference and

looks forward to serving in this capacity on

behalf of the CTCLUSI Tribal Court.

April 9th Easter Day Activity

Contributed by Nicole Romine, Tribal Tobacco Prevention Program Assistant

April 9th this year fell on Easter Sunday.

This was a busy day while other events were

happening like the Regular Tribal Council

Meeting, the General Council Meeting and

Election Day. Prevention was able to host an

Easter Egg Hunt and invited Tribal Families

with the participation for youth ages 0-18 in

the hunting expedition.

While the weather was a bit chilly and

offered some Oregon light rain, the 25

youth didn’t seem to mind. Friends and

family watched as they gathered anxiously

waiting and then dashed to find and collect

eggs as they cleared the field, of almost

three hundred eggs, in about 4 minutes!

Hidden well, there were 6 large golden eggs

with a prize inside offering to win a special

large Easter basket and while looking for

the golden one’s youth picked up eggs that

were stuffed with candy, trinkets, slime,

Legos, toys and more!

Following the hunt, an Easter lunch was

provided complete with ham, turkey, gravy,

stuffing and of course smoked salmon!

After lunch we closed with an additional

activity, as some parents where voting at

the Tribal Hall Polling booths. We hung

a stuffed pinata filled full that the youth

enjoyed, taking turns, finally busted it open

and it was shared by all.

Hopefully next year we will hide more

eggs and spread out the activities to the

outreach offices! Thank you to our kitchen

staff and all staff participating in this year’s

event. We look forward to your participation

next year.

Blue Earth Federal Corporation

2023 - A New Beginning

Who we are: Blue Earth Federal Corporation “BEFC” is the economic

development board the Tribal government of Confederated Tribes of

Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians.

Over the last year, the Blue Earth Federal Corporation board (BEFC)

has divested itself of the two businesses that were under its care during

COVID. The Blue Earth Services and Technology (BEST) business

is in the process of closure and the assets sold to Tribal Member, Justin

Krossman as it was deemed to have limited benefit for the Tribe, and

more benefit for this Tribal Member to create his own business. The EZ

Mini Storage business managed by BEST with the assistance of Kendell

Smith was successfully transferred to the Tribe under the care of the

Planning/Realty Department as it had matured into a profitable business

with a strategic location for the Tribe. BEST transferred $250,000.00

with this transition back to the Tribe for any remaining expenses

necessary for this property and once finalized; all remaining funds

will be transferred back to the Economic Development Fund for

future use. Kendell has transitioned as a Tribal Government employee

to continue in her previous capacity and we want to wish Justin well in

his new ventures!

A New BEFC for 2023: Vision – Mission – Strategic Goals

Economic Project Development:

Blue Earth is a designated board of Tribal and non-tribal members who

will collaborate with the Council, tribal members, staff, consultants,

designers, engineers, and other stakeholders to shape and detail the

needs required to make the Council’s economic vision a reality.

Property Development:

Explore developing and bringing to fruition commercial and residential

properties for the Tribe.

Future Goal: BEFC will be meeting with Tribal Council in May with

the hope to begin Development of a Tribal Business Incubation &

Mentorship Program:

Incubator mission statement: “To increase the successful development

of new and existing businesses, job creation, and employment

opportunities for Tribal members and their families.

1. Stimulating entrepreneurial spirit & innovation

2. Job creation for Tribal members

3. Business capital funding through loans

4. Mentorship and business guidance
