The age categories are as follows: of Siletz Indians, in Siletz, Ore., as well as my title. I met many famous stars and Little Miss Siletz - 7 to 12 Jr. Miss Siletz - 13 to 17 Miss Siletz - 18 to 24 royalty from all over the country. It was a great experience for me. I was able to see my cousins and family from Oregon on my trip in New Mexico. There were many people at the pow-wow, more Indians than I’ve ever seen in my life, at one time, in one place. I also saw many other sites of New Mexico’s beautiful land. The Siletz Royalty and myself told and shared about the Siletz Tribe; many people have never heard of the Siletz people. It was a fun trip and an experience I will always remember.
