This is the time of year when we attend our national conference. We will be gone
the week of June 15 to attend it and then in Salem the next week. It is very important
to make it to your scheduled appointments because we will be hard to catch up with
to reschedule.
Cheesy Chicken and Vegetable Soup
1 head cauliflower, separated
1 pound broccoli, cut
4-6 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, diced
½ pound carrots, diced
1 pound sliced cheese
1 stick of butter, halved
1 14-ounce can chunk chicken
¼ cup vegetable base
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon marjoram
Red pepper flakes to taste
1. Put cauliflower and broccoli in a pot with 3-4 cups of salted water and cook on
high. When it starts to boil, add the vegetable base.
2. Melt ½ stick of butter in a pot and add the onion, celery and carrots with some
salt. Cook until the onion is transparent and the carrots are getting soft.
3. Add this to the cauliflower and broccoli; simmer until cauliflower and broccoli
are soft.
4. Melt the other ½ stick of butter in the same pan used to sauté the veggies. When
the butter has melted, add the flour, salt and pepper to make a rue. Stir it until
the butter and flour are browned. Add the 2 cups of milk slowly and stir with a
whisk until the mixture is smooth. Start adding the cheese slices while stirring
the mixture with a spoon.
5. When the cheese sauce is smooth, pour it in with the veggies and stir in the can
of chicken chunks. Heat through and serve.
6. As an afterthought, I added a can of spinach, drained. So good!

Bear claws and teeth available
Periodically the Tribal Natural Resources Department has the opportunity to
obtain bear parts, including paws and snouts, from the Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife for Siletz Tribal member use in making regalia and ceremonial items.
Some of the work to remove the claws and teeth already has been done
by volunteers, but some work still needs to be done to obtain useable parts for
necklaces, etc.
If you are interested in obtaining some of these parts, contact the
Natural Resources Department to be put on a list (Mike Kennedy at
541-444-8232 or Rosie Williams at 541-444-8227; or 800-922-1399).
Parts will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis as they become
available. Parts can only be used by Siletz Tribal members and cannot be sold.
