Fair, con’t from page 1 Adelaide Adams, Scott Lane, Clayborne Arden, Oscar Brown, C.S. Davis and Frank Lane, 14 people in all. Individual categories were overseen by superintendents. Superintendents for the livestock exhibit were Spencer Scott and Frank Lane; farm products, Alex Catfish; garden products and fruits, Ned and Homer Evans; poultry, Major Lud- son; needlework, Delia DePoe Brown; cooking, Agnes Newberry Thompson; photography and painting, Mary Hauser DePoe; Indian baskets, Minnie Louie Lane; Indian beadwork, Mary Butler Catfish; Indian implements, Joseph Cook and Stewart Rooney; school exhibits, May Adams; and miscellaneous, John Adams Sr. The purpose of the Indian Fair is two-fold – to proudly share Siletz Tribal culture and history with members of the Siletz Tribe and also to educate our sur- rounding communities. This year’s fair is reminiscent of Indian Fairs that began in 1915 but different in that there will be no competition or athletic events. This will be a time of sharing. This year’s fair will be an attempt to begin the revival of what was once a hugely successful example of Siletz Tribal talent that will continue to expand each year with new events and categories implemented as it grows. Families are invited to display old or contemporary regalia, baskets and other art forms. At our early Indian Fairs, fami- lies competed to display the best basket made of hazel, clothes hamper made of hazel, basket made of spruce roots, basket cap, baby basket or collection of baskets. Beadwork, regalia and traditional tools also were displayed at the Indian Fair and we would like to invite any dis- plays families would like to share. Items can either be historic or newly created and a mix of both is welcomed. An eight-foot table in a secured, cordoned area will be provided for each family that requests a table. Tribal pro- grams are invited to display the exciting ways Siletz Tribal culture exists today and how we are caring for our people, resources and lands. To exhibit family displays of regalia, baskets and other Native artwork, contact Gloria Ingle at jessiemarie1944@yahoo. com or 541-994-5953. Space also will be available for ven- dors for a $50 fee. Because of limited space, vendors are limited to a single eight-foot table and are encouraged to bring their own table if possible. For vendor information, contact Margo Hudson at margonnhh@hotmail. com or call 541-444-2200. Follow us on Facebook at Huu-Cha~ for developing details.
