Siletz Tribal Youth Coming Together: Native Style First Annual Youth Conference a Smashing Success How do you measure the success of a youth conference? Not by the rating of the food! You measure it by the 97 percent of the youth who want to return next year to participate in a conference like this. You also measure it by looking at individual teens who took healthy risks to be there. “I saw kids who where shy on Friday, present and share to the whole group on Sunday!” stated DeAnna Pearl, the Tobacco Prevention coordinator. The whole group included 21 adults and 85 Siletz Tribal youth between ages 12 and 18 who met at the Canby Grove Conference Center in Canby, Ore., on May 30 for a three-day conference. The adults and youth came from all over the Pacific Northwest to participate in this first-ever Siletz Tribal Youth conference. The conference included a dance, a morning of cultural teaching, prevention workshops, Nadosh teaching and demonstration, story telling, swimming, basketball, hiking, indoor games, and crafts. The Nadosh ceremony was rated the most-liked activity of the conference. Six of the See Youth on page 8.
