Dance Sponsors
Are Needed
The Pow-Wow Committee is
currently looking for dance sponsors
for this year’s Nesika lllahee
Pow-Wow.
By sponsoring a category, you’ll
make it more personal. Your name will
be on the winner’s envelope and will
be read during the awarding of the
prize money to the dancers.
Dance categories include both
male/female traditional, male/female
fancy, grass, and jingle. You can
sponsor, or co-sponsor with the
committee, a category in your name,
your family’s name, or in memory of
a loved one.
Contact Craig Whitehead to see
what categories are available.
Apply Now for Siletz Royalty
The Pow-Wow Committee is now taking applications for this year’s royalty
contestants. The age categories are as follows:
Little Miss Siletz - 7 to 12
Jr. Miss Siletz - 13 to 17
Miss Siletz - 18 to 24
If any young women are interested in running in one of these categories,
contact Craig Whitehead for an application.

Any applications turned in between July 5 and July 15 will only be accepted with
the approval of the Pow-Wow Committee. All applications turned in after July 15
will not be accepted for this year.
Contestants will be judged on their knowledge of tribal and family history,
poise and personality, speaking abilities, dance abilities in both the Feather Dance
and Intertribal styles, and ticket sales. Each contestant will receive a commission
on the number of tickets that she sells. Commission rates are as follows - 200 to
500 at 20 percent, 501 to 1,000 at 25 percent, and more than 1,000 at 30 percent.
The pageant is scheduled for Aug. 7, 2003, and the winners will be crowned
before the first grand entry on Aug. 8. This year’s royalty will be sponsored to
attend the Gathering of Nations Pow-Wow and the Miss Siletz also will be
sponsored to participate in the NCAI competition.
