Honoring Our Identity embracing Our Heritage American Indian Youth Leadership Conference Chemeketa Community College Salem, Oregon Feb. 21, 2014 I wanted to take a minute and thank the youth and chaperones from Siletz who took time out of their lives to attend this first annual youth conference. I also would like to thank the Siletz Education Department and Chemeketa for organizing this event. Howard Rainer and Jilliene Joseph were great presenters.
