Prizes will go to the first place winners in every area office. All you have to do is correctly complete the word search and bring it with you to the “Family Welfare Code” community meeting nearest you, where you can claim your prize. Copies of the draft code are available in project binders in the area offices. Please contact Diane Henkels, Trish Carey, or Julee Welch, if you have any questions or comments at 1-800-922-1399, ext. 212, or e-mail at dianeh@ctsi.nsn.usortrishc@ctsi.nsn.us. We welcome your input! We also have started studying how to implement a peacemaker code as part of Siletz Tribal Court. This would provide the tribe with a way to resolve disputes in a more traditional manner. Rather than involving Tribal Court, the peacemaking process would use the parties and the peacemaker(s) to resolve a disagreement. Many tribes today are actively working at revitalizing their traditional peacemaking forums and customary laws. In the next few months, this project will report on different models, seek public input, and draft materials useful to implementing a peacemaker court.
