ernment provides general funding to the
Tribe (rather than to specific programs),
then Tribal employees and the Tribal
Council decide how funds will be spent.

opened in 2009, another eight units there
and 19 apartments in Siletz that opened in
2010 and seven homes in the Tillamook
subdivision in Siletz that opened in 2013;
completing the Siletz Dance House in

ness Center and a new USDA food distri-

poration, the Tribe purchased the Lincoln

largest employer in Lincoln County.

dition of sharing within the community
by distributing more than $10.8 million

tribution Fund and other Tribal resources.

items since 1995. It also provides in-kind

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.
