Join Tribal members for annual Run to the Rogue from Siletz down to SW Oregon
The community is invited to join
Siletz Tribal members and friends on Sept.
6-8 (Friday-Sunday) for the 24th annual
Run to the Rogue.
This event is a 234-mile relay run/
walk in memory of the Siletz Tribal ancestors who were forcibly removed from their
homeland in Rogue River country in the
mid-1800s and marched north to Siletz
and the confinements of the Coast Reservation. This annual relay run is the closest
today’s Tribal members can come to their
ancestors’ experience on the journey from
their homeland.
You can register at 8 a.m. on Friday,
Sept. 6, or at any time on the run. The run
begins in Siletz on Sept. 6 at 8:30 a.m. at
the Tribal Community Center and ends
Sunday, Sept. 8, at Oak Flat on the Rogue
River. Lunch then will be served at Cougar
Lane Lodge, 4219 Agness Road; turn right
when leaving Oak Flat onto Agness Road.
Please be aware of the following:

Herrington inspires Oregon students during 50th anniversary of moon landing
SALEM, Ore. – On July 20, former NASA astronaut John Herrington gave the
keynote address to students participating in the Apollo Next Giant Leap Student Challenge at LaCreole Middle School in Dallas, Ore.
Herrington, a member of the Chickasaw Nation, was the first enrolled Tribal
member in space when he flew on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in November 2002.
His message to the students was about perseverance when working toward a goal.
“The most satisfying things you do are usually the hardest things you do,” Herrington said. “The idea of collaborative learning is common in Native communities.
My research was looking at kids, what motivates them to study math and science, and
it’s hands-on learning, working with your friends, finding those things that spark the
motivation to want to learn more.”
Herrington’s appearance coincided with the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
He told the students he never thought he could be an astronaut, but that he listened
to people who had confidence in him. This spurred a renewed effort to get a degree
in mathematics and become a test pilot because that was a pipeline to becoming an
astronaut.
Herrington says he hopes that, 50 years from now, one of these students will be
talking about his or her trip to the moon or Mars and inspiring yet another generation
of space exploration.

Chairman’s Report
Pow-Wow
Southern Oregon University
The 2019 Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow
was a great success. Our Royalty represented the Tribe in an outstanding manner
this past year. It was great listening to their
last speeches as new young ladies take over
those responsibilities (see photo on page
13). The parade grand marshal this year
was Tribal elder Aggie Pilgrim.
Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Ore., honored Tribal elder Aggie
Pilgrim for her many accomplishments in
the past several years. She has honorably
represented Tribes in the U.S. and also in
many foreign countries.
Gov. Kate Brown and her husband,
Dan Little, joined us in this year’s celebration. The governor marched in the grand
entry with the Tribal Council (see photo on
page 10). She was very cordial and wellreceived by members and other visitors.
We were happy she chose to be with
us at our annual celebration.
I was happy to introduce Aggie at the
event, she then received the Presidential
Medal from the president of the university,
Linda Schott (see photo on page 18).

Hang graduates from Home Visiting
In June, Linh Hang graduated from the Siletz Tribal Home Visiting Program.
She started the program in April 2016 when she was expecting her second child
and graduated this June when her daughter, Livvy, turned 3.
Linh actively participated in Home Visiting, engaging in the lessons and attending Home Visiting activities regularly with her family. While in the program, Linh
accomplished many goals that she set for herself.
Over the past three years, she completed an associate degree in early childhood
education, worked at Siletz Tribal Head Start in Salem, had two children and along
with Levi Butler, bought their first home.
Linh had this to say about the program: “The Home Visiting Program has helped
us as a family. It kept us on our path of buying our house and accomplishing our goals.
Every visit was a reminder of where we were headed and served as a personal reminder
of our progress. I definitely recommend Home Visiting to other families; it provides
moral support and helps someone who is trying to grow. You have to take the initiative
and do the work, but the program is really supportive.”
Linh is committed to her family and continues to plan and grow for the future.
This summer, she began work on her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education.
We wish you the best as you continue your education. Congratulations, Linh!

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
During the month of September, our goal is to highlight suicide prevention efforts by advocating for prevention strategies and networking to share resources and information.
The rate of suicide has increased more than 30 percent in half of the states across the United States since 1999, with approximately
45,000 lives lost to suicide in 2016 alone. Research has shown that more than half of people who die by suicide did not have a known
mental health condition. The rate of suicide for American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 34 is 1.3
times the national average. Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death across all ages among all American Indian/Alaska Native.
It is important for Native people to learn how to recognize and respond to suicide. Talking about suicide in an open and caring manner
can help those who are thinking of suicide obtain services. Learn how to recognize and respond to suicide by paying attention
to warning signs of suicide. If you notice any warning signs, starting a conversation with the person may save their life.
Warning Signs:
Talking about wanting to die or to kill oneself
Looking for a way to kill oneself
Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live
Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain
Talking about being a burden to others
Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs
Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly
Sleeping too little or too much
Withdrawing or feeling isolated
Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge
Displaying extreme mood swings

Are you willing to participate in a study to help a Tribal member complete their dissertation?
Hello fellow Tribal members, my
name is Elizabeth “Lisa” Norton and
I am working on completing my dissertation for a Ph.D. in social work at
Portland State University. My study
is about creating a culturally relevant
definition of sexual violence in Indian
Country.
Who: I am looking for self-identified female members of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz who are age 18
or older.
What: You will be asked to participate in a one-time focus group/Talking
Circle process that will last approximately
3 hours. You will be asked questions about
the definition of sexual violence. These are
questions like: If we were to define sexual
violence, in culturally relevant terms, what
issues would we have to talk about?
You will not be asked about your own
sexual violence history.
You will also be asked to participate in
a follow-up session where the results of the
process will be discussed to gather input
about whether the information presented
was accurate. Your time commitment is
approximately 3 hours for the focus group/
Talking Circle and 3 hours at the followup session.
Where: There will be two separate
focus group/Talking Circles. You can
choose to participate in either one. There
will be one at the Siletz Community
Health Clinic, and there will be one at the
Salem Area Office.
When: Siletz, Oct.30 at 6 p.m. and
Salem, Oct. 23 at 6 p.m.
As this study will occur in the evening, a meal will be provided. In exchange
for your time, you will be paid $20 for
participation in the focus group/Talking
Circle and $20 for participation in the
follow-up session.
Your participation is strictly voluntary. There is no personal benefit to
anyone who participates and there are
risks in participating in this study.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact me at 541-3510129. I will be happy to answer your
questions and if you want to participate,
I will provide you more information.

She then worked for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. She loved working
for the Tribe. This is some of the stuff she did in her life, but the best thing she ever
did was having my sister, Melissa Sutton, and me, her son, Jeffrey Flagg.
Our mother was an amazing and wonderful mother to me and my sister. She was
one of our No. 1 fans in sports and life and everything that comes with life.
Something that meant the world to her was becoming a grandma to two most amazing little girls, Gracyn Sutton and Parker Sutton. There are no words for how much they
mean to her and they feel the same way about their Grandma Wina.
Our mother was very smart, outgoing and caring, and willing to help her family
and friends. She loved going on trips. Her hobbies included scrapbooking, sewing,
crocheting and playing poker.
Our mother was so beautiful and my sister and I would not change her for nothing.
Our family misses her every second, minute, hour of every day. She was taken away
from us way too soon and she was such a great mom, daughter, grandma, sister, auntie
and cousin. She is one of the most amazing mothers my sister and I have in our lives.
She is one of our best friends.
Mom, your son and daughter and family love you till the mountains fall down and
we miss you so, so much.
We will have a Celebration of Life for our mother, Edwina Flagg, at Holy Cross
Lutheran Church on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 1-4 p.m. The church is at 1998 Lansing
Ave NE, Salem, OR 97301.
We will have a potluck, so bring your best dish. The family will provide a dessert
table. And feel free to wear red or black or both – those were her favorite colors.

crew along with past and present supervisors (Stan Werth, Sharon Edenfield,
Max Hoover and Brenda Bremner)
came together for a retirement barbecue for Eugene (Poppa) Williams Jr.

Pop – Wishing you a Happy Retirement! You have always worked so hard
at everything you’ve done! You’ve
shown our kids and grandkids what
a dedicated and hard work ethic is all
about. Now’s your time to do what you
want, when you want – golf, camp,
hunt, travel, play Keno, Bingo or just
relax.
Love you, Deb and all your family

Depoe Bay Fire District: Care and Preparation
By Diane Rodriquez
The emergency medicine manikin
could have been a real person.
The firefighters training with it can
put in IVs, do intramuscular injections
(like for an allergic reaction), read EKGs,
use a defibrillator on it, check an airway to
practice intubation and check for a pulse
in the manikin’s neck, arms and feet.
Jordon Burdick, engineer/paramedic
with the fire district’s Gleneden Beach station, can control the manikin with an iPad
to set up different scenarios for training.
He said the firefighters get at least an hour
of training every (48-hour) shift to keep
up with certifications, which means 4-6
hours of training each month.
“There’s a huge gap between what we
learn in the classroom and what happens
in real life,” said Burdick. “The bigger
majority of students are tactile learners
who learn by doing. The manikin allows
them to learn by hands-on doing, which
reduces the gap between the classroom
and real life.”
Earlier this year, the fire district
received a $6,000 grant for the emergency
medicine manikin, a $2,000 grant to help
stock emergency caches and a $1,500
grant for haz-mat suits and equipment
from the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund. This is the first manikin of
this kind in Lincoln County.
Overall, the fire district has received
$47,979 from the charitable fund since
2003, including a $3,450 grant in 2012
for the Depoe Bay Volunteer Firefighters
Association for smoke detectors to distribute to local residents.
These firefighters work to inform the
community about what they do and let
people know there are things individuals
can do before firefighters arrive that can
help. We’re talking about general first aid,
like controlling bleeding, or doing a risk
assessment for falls. Community events
are coming in the future where firefighters
Photos by Diane Rodriquez
Patrick Ganz (left), Jordon Burdick, Andrew Larson and the manikin
can use the manikin to demonstrate what
people can do before firefighters arrive.
“Ninety percent of the job is talking
to people, constant reassurance to the
patient. I teach the guys to think about
how you want your family treated,” said
Burdick. “All of the guys here provide
excellent care. I don’t want them to be
run-of-the-mill EMTs. Know that we’re
always training, trying to be as prepared
as we can be for their medical emergency.”
Lt. Patrick Ganz, an advanced EMT
with the district, said that people often
wonder why the fire department shows up
when they’ve called 911 for an ambulance.
“The fire department often is closer to
the location and can start rendering care
sooner,” he said. “We take a fire engine at
all times in case we get a call for something else. Say it’s a fire or a car wreck, we
can go straight from the scene (once the
ambulance crew arrives) to another call.”
Ganz also is in charge of emergency
planning. The district has eight cache
sites stocked with supplies to help the
community in the aftermath of a disaster.
“Most caches are really stocked up
with food, water and general survival
supplies,” he said. “We make a big push
for our citizens to be resilient and selfsufficient. We encourage people to have
72 hours of supplies (for themselves and
their families). The cache sites allow us
to be OK until more supplies come” by
sea or over land.
The coast won’t be the first to get help
because bridges on roads to the valley
likely will fall. The big message, Ganz
said, is to be prepared because if you’re
not, you’ll be in trouble.
“Be prepared, start talking to your
neighbors and figure out a plan. You don’t
want to not be ready and have supplies on
hand,” said Ganz. “The community can get
together and help each other out. If the big
one (Cascadia earthquake) hits, we need to
be self-sufficient until help arrives.”
Part of an emergency cache stocked with supplies, to go with the 72 hours of
supplies the DBFD encourages each household to stock on their own

STAHS Indian Fair has moved to Nov. 23; display items, families, vendors wanted
Siletz Tribal members are invited
to participate in the Indian Fair set for
Nov. 23, 2019.
Sponsored by the Siletz Tribal Arts
and Heritage Society in cooperation with
the Siletz Tribal Cultural Department, the
admission-free event will take place from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the convention center
at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
The purpose of the Indian Fair is to
proudly share Siletz Tribal culture and
history with members of the Siletz Tribe
and also to the surrounding communities.
This is reminiscent of Indian Fairs held
in the early 1900s but different in that
there will be no competition among the
creations that are displayed. This will be
strictly a time of sharing and celebrating
who we are as a people, our traditions,
history and culture.
Families are invited to bring regalia,
baskets and other art forms, both historic
and contemporary, to display. Display
tables for this purpose will be available
in a cordoned-off secure area. Tables will
also be available for vendors at no charge,
however, vendors are asked to donate one
item to the silent auction.
Please fill out the vendor’s form both
for display items and items for sale and
return to STAHS at P.O. Box 8, Siletz, OR
97380 before Nov. 1, 2019, to secure your
space. Forms will be available at the Tribal
administration building reception desk.
For more details, visit our website at
siletzartsheritage.org , find us on Facebook at Huu-Cha~ or contact Angela
Ramirez at stahs.board@gmail.com.

After-hours crisis line now available at
541-444-8286 or 800-600-5599
Because mental health and relapse
crises do not always happen during business hours, Siletz Behavioral Health has
arranged a collaboration with an afterhours crisis line called Lines for Life.
On weekends and during the weekday
hours of 5 p.m. to 8 a.m., the number to the
Behavioral Health front desk is forwarded
to Lines for Life, where you will be connected with a live mental health counselor.
The counselor will do everything he/she
can to help de-escalate, advise and support.
Afterwards, this information can be
shared with our mental health counselor
so follow-up care can be provided.
Of course, if there is an emergency
and you fear that you or someone else is
in imminent danger, please call 911. That’s
always the fastest way to get help.

Hotel rates for Siletz Tribal members
Siletz Tribe hotel rates all year round! No longer do you have to guess at what
your rate is and worry about higher rates in the summer. One rate for each hotel
type is now $79 for standard deluxe oceanfront rooms and $99 for oceanfront
junior suites.
To the editor:
I would like to say a huge thank you to our Youth Services programs for providing
such awesome activities over the summer. There were so many really cool opportunities for our kids, like the 3-D printing camp put on by Oregon State that will benefit
our Tribe in the future.
I appreciate all the people it takes to make these activities happen, from the people
planning and organizing them to the people transporting our kids and being chaperones.
I am so thankful that our Tribe provides these opportunities not only for fun but for
growth and learning as well.
Respectfully,
Darcy Jimenez
To the editor:
Clinic Slush Fund
It seems Tribal Council is again using the monies collected from third-party billing at the clinic as a slush fund. Back in 1997, the clinic and A&D worked to become
compliant with state regulations regarding charting, etc., so we could become certified
to collect third-party monies from insurance companies. The stated reason was that
they could use that money to pay for more medical services for Tribal members.
But when we bought the mill in Toledo, it was found out “after” we spent monies
to convert it to a small log mill that the ground was contaminated and needed to be
cleaned up. At the time, the clinic had collected approximately $5 million from thirdparty billing. So it was decided to take the money that was meant for additional medical services and use it to try and clean up the mill site ground. Didn’t work. Ground
still contaminated. I don’t know if council ever paid the $5 million back to the clinic.
Now they have again taken money from the clinic and bought 38 acres out toward
Logsden along with a house. The intent is to make that land into a community garden.
Now, I am sure those who have been denied services from the clinic, from MRIs to
dental work to other needed medical treatment and tests, I am sure they will be glad
to know that instead of those tests and treatments, they will in some future date get
free vegetables. Of course they will have to spend $40 to $50 in gas to get here from
the valley, but hey … who is counting?
I don’t know the exact figure, but I am betting it was over $500,000 dollars if not
closer to $1 million for that property. So, all of you who have been denied services from
the clinic, I would get on the phone, write them or visit them to complain.
As a long-term solution to this type of thing, we need to institute a policy that
council and its agencies post their plans in the newsletter with a 60-day comment period
prior to making such purchases, especially if it is going to take money or services away
from Tribal members.
Lastly, I want to ask why we cannot keep medical doctors at the clinic? We spend
thousands of dollars in recruitment and benefits to hire them, yet they will not stay.
Why? That is another letter to the editor to be answered next month.

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirms constitutionality of ICWA
From the Native American Rights Fund
PORTLAND, Ore – On Aug. 9, the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals published
its decision in Brackeen v. Bernhardt, the
federal court challenge to the Indian Child
Welfare Act (ICWA).
The court’s decision affirmed the
constitutionality of ICWA, recognizing the
unique political status of Tribal nations
and upholding the federal law that is so
critical to safeguarding Indian child wel-
fare. It is a resounding victory for the law
and those who fought to protect it.
ICWA is vital for protecting the wellbeing of Native children. This decision
reaffirms Tribal nations’ inherent sovereign authority to make decisions about
Native children and families wherever
those children and families may live.
As Aug. 9 marked the International
Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, the
Protect ICWA Campaign partners celebrate
Siletz News Letters Policy
Siletz News, a publication of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, is
published once a month. Our editorial policy encourages input from readers about
stories printed in Siletz News and other Tribal issues.
All letters must include the author’s signature, address, and phone number in
order to be considered for publication. Siletz News reserves the right to edit any
letter for clarity and length, and to refuse publication of any letter or any part of
a letter that may contain profane language, libelous statements, personal attacks
or unsubstantiated statements.
Not all letters are guaranteed publication upon submission. Published letters do
not necessarily reflect the opinions of Siletz News, Tribal employees, or Tribal Council.
Please type or write legibly. Letters longer than 450 words may be edited for
length as approved by Tribal Council Resolution #96-142.
Please note: The general manager
of the Siletz Tribe is the editor-in-chief
of Siletz News.
Editor-in-Chief: Brenda Bremner
Editor: Diane Rodriquez
Assistant: Andy Taylor
this decision as it upholds centuries of
Supreme Court precedent and protects the
best interests of Native children and families.
“This ruling is a strong affirmation
of the constitutionality of ICWA and the
inherent Tribal authority to make decisions
about the well-being of member children,
whether they live on or off of Tribal lands.
ICWA remains the gold standard of child
welfare policy and practice; it is in the
best interest of Native children,” said Sarah
Kastelic, executive director of the National
Indian Child Welfare Association.
“The National Congress of American Indians commends the efforts of the
intervening Tribes – the Cherokee Nation,
Morongo Band of Mission Indians, the
Navajo Nation, the Oneida Nation and the
Quinault Indian Nation – the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, the Department of Justice
and all others in Indian Country that joined
this fight to protect our Native children.
Today’s decision that clearly defines the
breadth of the relationship between the federal government and Tribal nations sends a
sharp message as to the strength of Tribal
sovereignty, which will safeguard Indian
Country from such misguided litigation
in the future,” said Kevin Allis, CEO of the
National Congress of American Indians.
Shannon Keller O’Loughlin, executive
director and attorney for the Association
on American Indian Affairs, ecstatically
stated, “The association has fought since
the early 1960s to make sure that Indian
children and their extended families can
stay connected and that our diverse cultures
can be passed on to coming generations.
The Fifth Circuit’s decision today acknowledges Indian Nations’ important political
and sovereign rights to protect Indian
children and families, and strengthen the
continuation of our cultures.”
John Echohawk, executive director
of the Native American Rights Fund,
applauded the Fifth Circuit’s return to core
Indian law principles that go back to the
founding of the United States.
“It is so great to see the Fifth Circuit
follow federal Indian law as we know it
and uphold the constitutionality of the
Indian Child Welfare Act,” he said.
Protect ICWA Campaign
The Protect ICWA Campaign was
established by four natinal Native organizations - the National Indian Child Welfare Association, the National Congress
of American Indians, the Association on
American Indian Affairs and the Native
American Rights Fund.
It works to serve and support Native
children, youth and families through
upholding the Indian Child Welfare Act.
It also works to inform policy, legal and
communications strategies with the mission to uphold and protect ICWA.

Public talk by
Daryl Baldwin
Monday, Oct. 14, 2019 • 6.p.m
156 Straub Hall
University of Oregon
On the occasion of Indigenous
Peoples Day during 2019 declared
by the United Nations as the International Year of Indigenous Languages,
the Graduate Linguists of Oregon
Student Society (GLOSS), in collaboration with the Northwest Indian
Language Institute, will host a public
talk by Daryl Baldwin, a citizen of
the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and
director of the Myaamia Center at
Miami University.
A 2016 MacArthur Fellow, Baldwin has been an intellectual leader
in the revitalization of the Myaamia
language, a language that was dormant for several decades after losing
its native speakers.
Today, the Myaamia language
is undergoing a vibrant process
of revitalization that, as Baldwin
will explain, is strongly grounded
on a long-standing and mutually
strengthening relationship between
the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and
Miami University.
You can learn more about Daryl
Baldwin at miamioh.edu/myaamiacenter/about/staff-faculty-affiliates/
