STAHS presents 2015 accomplishments, 2016 goals to the Tribal Council
The all-volunteer Siletz Tribal Arts
and Heritage Society’s Board of Directors,
led by Chairman Dave Hatch, presented its
2015 year-end report to the Siletz Tribal
Council on May 31.
The mission of STAHS is to support
and promote the practice, conservation
and restoration of the Tribal cultures of
the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians
through sharing and education.
Hatch, accompanied by four members
of the six-member board, laid out the accom-
plishments and activities of 2015 and the
goals for 2016 in an hour-long presentation
that was well-received by the Tribal Council.
In 2015, STAHS worked to restart
the Siletz Tribal Cultural Center Phase
II design process, adopt a cooperative
Memorandum of Agreement for working
with the Tribe, raise money for the design
costs and contract for the design.
A portion of the design costs was
supported by a generous donation directly
to the Tribe from the Spirit Mountain
Community Fund. Shovel-ready plans
for the cultural center will be finished in
May 2017.
Hatch attributed 2015’s progress to
the support and direction of the Tribal
Council, the support of Siletz Tribal
Charitable Contribution Fund and the
excellent planning in 2006 when the sche-
matic designs were prepared.
STAHS’ 2016 focus is raising money
to build the second phase of the Siletz
Tribal Cultural Center on Government
Hill. The board will continue to support
cultural activities, collect archives and
materials appropriate for our collections
and reach out to the larger community
regarding the culture and history of the
Siletz Tribe.
