Elders Gather at the Beach by Kathryn Dick April 8 was the Annual Elders Circle of Wisdom Honor Day. It was a very successful gathering with 18 tribes and groups from Oregon, Idaho, and Washington taking part. The Siletz Elders worked hard and made the lighthouse centerpieces for the tables. They also made sand and seashell jars for each place setting. They looked great and each elder got to take one home. Door prizes were made and provided by the elder group, so each guest received a gift. For the evening dinner, we placed tribal flags at each place setting along with a cloth- covered exercise block. Everything was very nice. We had elders take part in a talent show in the afternoon. Siletz Elders plus elders from the Lummi Tribe and Warm Springs took part in sharing their talents. Walt Klamath was the emcee and also was in charge of the flag ceremony that got the gathering started. The afternoon entertainment was a group of belly dancers. Tobi Mason- Custer, a tribal member, was one of the dancers. During and after dinner, the Rick Bartow Band sang and played. There was a lot of socializing and many people made new friends. The Jane Archer Dancers — Jennifer Caruso, Kim Palme, Tobi Mason-Custer, and Jane Archer — entertain the elders ly belly dancing at the gathering.
