SILETZ NEWS Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Vol. 44, No. 7 July 2016 Siletz News Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians P.O. Box 549 Siletz, OR 97380-0549 Presorted First-Class Mail U.S. Postage Paid - Permit No. 178 Salem, OR Delores Pigsley, Tribal Chairman Brenda Bremner, General Manager and Editor-in-Chief Researching, reclaiming, restoring and renewing your heritage with STAHS The mission of the Siletz Tribal Arts and Heritage Society (STAHS) is to sup- port and promote the practice, conserva- tion and restoration of the Tribal cultures of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. STAHS is a Tribally chartered nonprofit corporation. In 2015, STAHS worked with the Tribe to review and update the 2006 Phase 2 schematic plans for the Siletz Tribal Cultural Center and raised the money to begin final design. The first phase for the cultural center was constructing the studio building that today serves as safe climate-controlled storage for collections and archives until the ultimate space is built in the new center and the studio space can be used as designed. Phase 2 designs began in February and shovel-ready plans will be completed in May 2017. Our 2016 STAHS goal is to raise $1 million for the construction of the Siletz Tribal Cultural Center. We will always be fundraising, but we hope our 2016 success will inspire the beginning of construction in 2017. You can help make this dream a real- ity with a donation to the STAHS capital fund. Your contribution is tax-deductible. Contributions can be made in memory of a loved one. You and the person you are honoring will be included in the cultural center records, our annual report and our STAHS website. Contributions can be made online at the STAHS website – huu-cha.org – or mailed. Employees of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians can use payroll deduction to donate pre-tax dollars.
