Gabriel Soulier’s award-winning Culture Camp projects
Soulier’s Culture Camp crafts earn
Washington State Fair ribbons
By Cindy DePoe-Soulier
Here is a photo of the ribbons my son, Gabriel Soulier, a Tribal member, received
from his entries at the Washington State Fair in September. My children enter the fair
every year and always have ribbons, but I never get the pictures into the paper.
Gabriel made all of these crafts at Culture Camp in July. He received Grand Cham-
pion for his workmanship on the bracelet. I am not sure of the instructor’s name, but
she was there last year as well and has such patience with the children and adults too.
I really want to thank her and also Bud Lane for helping Gabriel with the basket
he made. He received first place for his basket and also his pine nut necklace.
Please thank of all the instructors who come to Culture Camp as we all really
appreciate them and what they do for our children.

December 2016
The 2017 Funded Orthodontic Treatment Program is fast approaching!
All interested parties should contact the Dental Department to be placed on
a list. The screening dates are April 26-27 and May 22-23, 2017.
The program and amount of accepted applicants will be dependent on the
funding for that year. Applicants are selected by case severity, motivation of the
patient and guardian, reliable transportation, routine dental check-ups and the oral
hygiene history of the patient, to name a few.
We want the best results possible for the patient and thus place emphasis on
these items in order to achieve this. The unbiased selection process is performed
under the guidance of an orthodontic specialist and chosen through a committee.
Open to all ages who are CHS-eligible only. Must have a scheduled screening
appointment during one of the four screening days to be considered.
Each year’s selection process is independent from previous years and does
not carry over. Selected and treated individuals can only be selected once for the
duration of the program.
All applicants will be notified by mail if they have been chosen.
Please contact the Siletz Dental Clinic, 541-444-9681 or 800-922-1399,
ext. 1681, to be put on the list.
