Siletz news
More than 1,000 computers have
been delivered to tribal households,
thanks to the Tribal Council’s decision
to use excess gaming revenue generated
by Chinook Winds Casino to place one
computer in each tribal household.
The distribution of these computers
was not limited to the tribe’s 11 -county
service area. Computers were delivered
all across the U.S. and some went to
households in Canada and Guam.
The tribe ordered 1,062 computers
from Gateway. Hardware included a
tower with Intel Pentium 4 Processor
and a CD burner, a monitor, and a
printer. Software included Windows XP
and MS Works Suite 2002, including
MS Word and Encarta.
Two hundred eighty-six computers
were delivered to tribal households in
Lincoln County, including 172 to Siletz,
which is 27 percent of the total
number ordered. UPS and FedEx made
the deliveries.
Tribal member Randy Garrett, a
UPS driver for 17 years, received some
much-needed help at the tribal
administration building, where he came
on two consecutive days with the initial
loads of computers. Many tribal
members picked up their computers at
the administration building, seriously
reducing the number of deliveries
Randy had to make. Several people
helped organize the distribution,
including Darlene Carkhuff, Bristo
Bayya, and Robert Bayya.
