Tribal office closure for total solar eclipse Emergency managers across Oregon have been meeting for more than a year to plan for an influx of visitors to the state to view the total solar eclipse on Aug. 21. The planning assumption is that Oregon will experience an additional 1 million visitors for this event. This will mean heavy traffic and prolonged travel times on our roads and highways. Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow To keep folks safe, the Tribe has determined it necessary to close Tribal offices in Siletz, Salem, Portland and Eugene and our Siletz Clinic on Aug. 21, the day of the eclipse. The Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow hiring date is Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Siletz Tribal Community Center on Government Hill. Jobs to be filled – security, maintenance and kitchen positions.
