Tribal vet rep asks Tribal veterans to call in
All Siletz Tribal veterans are asked to call Tony Molina, Honor Guard director
and Tribal veterans representative, to verify their DD214s and enrollment numbers
so he can process their names to be placed on the Veterans Memorial on Govern
ment Hill. Molina can be reached at 541-444-8330 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1330.
Tony Molina (right) holds the gift he and Ed Ben recently received from the
Lakota Oyate Ki Culture Club at its 28lh annual pow-wow at the Oregon State
Penitentiary in Salem, Ore. Lakota Oyate Ki was created in 1968 and “allows
inmates who are interested in Native American culture the opportunity to
involve themselves in traditional Native practices and crafts, allows the Native
inmates a means to address their concerns and needs to the administration and
provides an organizational means for those who wish to worship in traditional
ways," according to a brochure distributed at the pow-wow.

The C lothesline Project is a visual display that bears witness to the violence against women. During the public display,
clothesline will be hung publicly displaying shirts. Each shirt is decorated to represent a particular woman's experience,
by the survivor herself or by someone who cares about her. The purpose of the project is: to bear witness to the survivors
as well as the victims; to help with the healing process for people who have lost a loved one or are survivors of this
violence; and to educate, document, and raise society's awareness of the extent of the problem of violence against women.
