General Council Re-Elects Members to Serve on Tribal Council
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
of
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.

2023 Governor’s Conference on Tourism
Chief Doc Slyter attended and
participated in the Oregon Governor’s
Conference on Tourism held in Portland,
Oregon April 3rd and 4th. Some of the
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
View the Future.
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.
Thank you to all in attendance!

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,
CTCLUSI Vice Chairman Doug Barrett pictured center with Mary Nutly and
paddles in various stages of completion and other items used

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.

THE VOICE OF CLUSI
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
