Siletz regalia on display at National Indian Council on Aging conference By Marlene Stuart Sixty American Indian women and men Elders wore their Native regalia at the NICOA (National Indian Council on Aging) Conference 2014 Fashion Show in Phoenix, Ariz., in early September. I was able to speak to the audience and describe my dress; acknowledge my Aunty Vicky Nelson, the maker of my basket cap; and recognize my daughter, Tiffany Stuart, the maker of the apron skirt of pine nuts and shells. Elders from around the country had questions about the Siletz Tribe after viewing the coastal regalia. I was able to invite 1,300 Elders to our annual pow- wows and other events. The fashion show was just one event at the NICOA conference, which also included workshops and trainings on healthy living in Indian Country. This conference allowed me to network with other Elders and support services. I would like to thank Tasha Rilatos, Siletz Elders coordinator, for being atten- tive to the Siletz Elders’ needs and for attending this trip. For more information on NICOA, visit nicoa.org.
