We all have our windows in time. We
all have our memories of those things
that are and have been most important
to us in our lifetimes. Some of us have
dreams. Some of us have both.
Former Siletz Tribal Council mem
ber Bob Tom remembers the days just
before the Tribe achieved Restoration.
He remembers like he was looking
through his own window in time.
He remembers when many of the
Tribe’s people had a common dream.

be represented at the annual Nesika
