federated Tribes of Siletz Indians of
Oregon and Chinook Winds Casino &

the purchase of the Shilo Inn Lincoln
City Oceanfront Resort located adjacent
to the casino.
The new addition to Chinook Winds
became effective June 1. To reflect the
transformation, the casino, convention

man, welcomed the new Chinook Winds
Casino Resort name along with the hotel,
pointing out that both changes aim toward
the goals of the tribe and the casino.

casino and tribe support the develop­
ment of a premier resort that attracts and
invites tourists from around the region,
as well as the country, to the fun,
excitement of Chinook Winds and
beauty of the Central Oregon Coast.
The purchase of the hotel also helps to
ensure the economic diversity of the
Siletz Tribe, benefiting our self­
sufficient longevity,” she said.
The progress of Chinook Winds
Casino Resort includes Lincoln City
residents as well.
“All the employees of the hotel are
welcome as members of the Chinook
