Funded Orthodontic Treatment Screening
The 2016 Funded Orthodontic
Treatment Program is fast approaching!
If you are interested in applying, please
contact the dental department at the
Siletz Community Health Clinic to be
placed on a list starting January 2016.
The screening dates have not yet
been set, but likely will be sometime
in late spring 2016.
The program and
amount of accepted
applicants will
depend on funding for
that year.
Applicants are
selected by case
severity and are
chosen based on
motivation by the
patient and parent,
reliable transporta-
tion and the oral hygiene of the patient,
to name a few.
The non-biased selection process
is performed under the guidance of an
orthodontic specialist and applicants
are chosen through a committee. We
want the best results possible for the
patient and thus place emphasis on
these items in order to achieve this.
This program is open to all
ages who are Siletz
Tribal members
only. All applicants
will be notified by
mail if they have
been chosen.
Please contact
the Siletz Dental
Clinic at 541-444-
9681 or 800-648-
0449 if you have any
questions.

RV Park in Lincoln City in 2004 and the

office moved to its current location in 2008.
The Tribe also played a lead role in

The Siletz Tribal Arts & Heritage

a nonprofit to enhance the Tribe’s ability to
develop the Siletz Tribal Cultural Center.
STAHS also helps the Tribe with acquiring
object and archival collections.
Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln
City opened in May 1995. In June 2004,
the Siletz Tribe purchased the former
Shilo Inn adjacent to the casino and
opened Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
Chinook Winds Golf Resort opened in
April 2005 when the Tribe purchased the
former Lakeside Golf and Fitness Center
in Lincoln City.
The combination of Tribal employ-
ees and those at Chinook Winds Casino
Resort has made the Siletz Tribe the larg-
est employer in Lincoln County.
The Siletz Tribe has honored its tra-
dition of sharing within the community
by distributing more than $12 million
through the Siletz Tribal Charitable Con-
tribution Fund and other Tribal resources.
Chinook Winds has donated more than
$2.8 million in cash and fundraising
items since 1995. It also provides in-kind
donations of convention space for various
fundraisers as well as technical support,
advertising and manpower for events.
