LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:
The Small Business Program and the
Siletz Tribal Action Network (S.T.A.N.)
would like to thank the Siletz Tribal Busi
ness Corporation (STBC) Board for ap
proving a budget change allowing the
purchase of six computers.
The computers have been installed in
the Lincoln City STBC office and will be
used by the Small Business Program and
S.T.A.N. workshops.
The addition of these computers to
our programs will make it easier for Siletz
Tribal members to develop their skills
and work toward either a career goal or
becoming an entrepreneur.
With the continued support of the
Tribal Council and the STBC Board, our
educational/training programs will suc
cessfully grow and allow us to provide
services that will promote ongoing edu
cation and skill development for inter
ested tribal members.
Thank you,
Rosie Sufficool
Business Information Counselor
Siletz Tribal Business Corporation

Re: Restoration Pow-Wow 2005
Our pow-wow will be next month;
we will be celebrating many years of
Restoration.
The elders hold a raffle at the August
and November pow-wows. The elders
raised $1,721 in the August pow-wow.
Thank you to Liz John and everyone who
volunteered to work in the raffle. Thank
you to all who donate to our raffle.
We receive a donation for each raffle
from Chinook Winds Casino. Our (Octo
ber) meeting was last Saturday and we
have received another donation from the
casino. There are sweatshirts, sweaters,
T-shirts, coin holders, bookmarks, and
many other items.
Thank you to the casino for always
supporting us.
Sincerely,
Shirley Walker
Elders Chairman
To the editor:
To tribal members,
My term on the Tribal Council is up
in February and I am asking again for your
support for a position on Tribal Council.
I have no self-interest and I am a hard
working advocate for all tribal members.
I will have more in the voters' pam
phlet on goals and issues that 1 will be
striving to achieve if 1 am re-elected. The
only promise I can make is I will work
diligently for the people.
Thank you again for the support I
have received the last three years.
Reggie Butler Sr.

To the editor:
Mr. Ed Ben, your comment under
tribal concerns while attending the
Aug. 6, 2005, General Council meeting
caused me to reflect upon this very issue.
Your concerns for your grandson’s
education are valid, as are all concerns of
tribal members who live out of the 11
counties. I believe you are asking for a
helping hand, not a hand out, as 1 did 10
years ago at a Tribal Council meeting for
tribal members out of the I 1 -county geo
graphical area.
Unfortunately, until one walks in
another’s footprint, it seems, do we feel
appropriate concern. The paper chase trail
concerning all programs can be a bit over
whelming while trying to process in a
timely manner with the required informa
tion. However, there is respectful appre
ciation for attention thus far in some areas.
Mr. Ben, your grandson is lucky to
have a concerned grandfather whose voice
carries in the wind. There are those who
have not. 1 admire your grandson’s
endeavors to further his education in
Sacramento.
We have descendants of ancestors
who are not entitled to reach for a help
ing hand to further their education. Their
frustration must be along the same lines,
Mr. Ben, as that of yourself and your
grandson.
I hope that all look deep; we cannot
afford to throw away our children.
Respectfully,
Eva E. Clayton
