Second Cut wood for elders Day is July 19 The Tribal Natural Resources Com- mittee and Natural Resources Department will sponsor another Cut Wood for the Elders Day on July 19. The woodcut will be held in the clearing on Gwee-Shut Road across from the Tribal clinic in Siletz. We need lots of volunteers to help cut, split and deliver firewood for Tribal Elders. Bring your chainsaws, hydraulic wood splitters, splitting mauls, axes and lots of energy. Lunch, drinks and snacks will be provided. We will start at 8 a.m. and go until mid-afternoon. The goal of this event is to deliver fire- wood to as many Elders as possible. The Elders Program maintains a list of Elders who burn wood for their winter heat. People willing to haul firewood to Elders outside of the Siletz area should contact the Elders Program at 800-922- 1399, ext. 1261, or 541-444-8261 to be paired up with an Elder in need. We especially need folks who can haul wood to the Eugene, Salem and Portland areas. Elders in need of firewood also should contact the Elders Program to get their name on the delivery list. If you have parents or grandparents who burn wood in the winter to stay warm, you need to help out at this event. Come help replenish those wood piles for the coming winter. The final woodcut this year takes place Sept. 20. Happy 50 th Birthday, Mom! Also, Happy 2 nd Anniversary. Love, Robert, Jenna, Matt, Micah and Nick Happy 2 nd Anniversary to Robert and Jenna.

Be a Foster Parent–Help a Child in Need “When the Children Grow Old… As posted by Marlin Fryberg on Facebook: Joyce, I purchased it from Rick (Bayya) and promised I’d get it in the hands of the president. The man hand- ing it to him is Brian Cladoosby, the president of (the) National Congress of American Indians. I personally think Rick’s work is the best and just wanted it recognized. After his term as president, this piece of art will still be appreciated. If his prices are going up, I think I get a cost break lol jk. We Want Them to Know We Fought for Them” ~ There are many ways to fight to protect our children. One of those ways is by being a foster parent. The Siletz Tribal Indian Child Welfare Department is accepting and recruiting foster homes on behalf of our Tribal children. ~ Passages Policy 20 • Submissions to Passages are limited to two 25-word items per person, plus one photo if desired.
