Pilgrim gives Tribal flag to creators
of all-nations veterans memorial
Grand Entry: 6 pm
1777 NW 44th Street,
Agnes Pilgrim, an elder of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, was honored
by Chairman Delores Pigsley, who handed her our Siletz Tribal flag.
This flag was presented to Bill and Gwin Stam, who created the All Nations Native
American Veterans Memorial, the only one we know of in the United States that is
open to all nations. This also includes police and fire fighters.
Our Siletz flag will be by 28 Native flags and 34 nations of Code Talkers.
This memorial is for all Native veterans, who can have their name put on a plaque
at the cost of $10. Send your name and years served to Bill Stan, 541-915-1558, in
Jefferson, Ore., where the memorial stands.
Attention Siletz Contract Health-eligible
Tribal members!
If you receive Contract Health Services approval to see providers/facilities
outside of a Tribal clinic, please be sure to inform them at your visit that you have
Contract Health Services as a form of payment.
We have seen a number of patients billed for services from their medical/
dental/optical providers because the patient did not inform the office that they
have Contract Health Services.
If you have primary insurance (through employment, Medicare, Medicaid,
etc.), we would be secondary to the primary insurance.
If you fail to provide this information to your providers and they don’t bill us
in a timely manner, you could be liable for the charges. Please let your providers
know that they can submit claims for payment to:

distributing more than $12.8 million through the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribu-
