RESTORATION POW-WOW
....
“BIA people are not responsible for
your well being. You have done it yourself.
We could have been better and we could
have done more for the tribes. But we’re
changing; we’re getting better. But I think
the reason for that is that you’re getting
better. You’re getting stronger and you’re
making things happen that we cannot...”

Director, BIA

“Today I see flourishing a great effort
to restore their cultural ways, to restore
their spiritual understanding of what we
are ... I want to tell the Siletz people that
I’m very proud of them.”
