Comments will be received at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Administration Building, Siletz, Oregon. Many people died, Women, children, families. Forced from their homes, Toa new place that was harsh and unknown. All because the white man didn't like them. No one knew their hurt. No one knew their sorrow. No one even cared. Miles and miles of endless walking. Nights spent on the ground. Dinners not nearly enough to keep them alive. Endless days in the hot sun. Children no longer playing. No longer laughing. No one knew their hurt. No one knew their sorrow. No one even cared. We look back and marvel at their strength. We look back and feel sorry for them. Now, we try to understand. We think we know ~ their hurt. We think we know their sorrow. We think we care. NOW. But it's too late. Written By: Jenera R. Hill, age 16 Confederated Tribes of Siletz
