Bring family, friends to Indian Fair Sharing Our Culture, educating Our Community Everyone is invited to stop by the Indian Fair on May 10, sponsored by the Siletz Tribal Arts and Heritage Society and Chinook Winds Casino Resort, in cooperation with the Siletz Tribal Cultural Department and other Tribal programs. The theme of the fair is Sharing Our Culture, Educating Our Community. This admission-free event will take place from noon to 5 p.m. at the National Guard Armory in Newport, Ore., located at 541 SW Coast Highway. 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. Reminiscent of Indian Fairs that began in 1915 but dif- ferent in that no competition or athletic events will take place, this will be a time of sharing. The 2014 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. Enjoy family displays of regalia and basketry, vendors featuring Siletz Tribal arts and crafts, information about Tribal programs, interactive activities for chil- dren and the ever-tempting and delicious fry bread.
