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.
You can find information on safely viewing the solar eclipse in Oregon online
at the following web address – oregon.gov/osp/SFM/docs/Comm_Ed/solareclipse/
solareclipsesafety.PDF.

Gathering basket-making materials
Summer is coming and hazel sticks are ready to pick and peel.
Hazel stick gathering is a must for anyone interested in making traditional Siletz
baskets. Spruce root can be dug all year round and is used for the weavers or weft of
Siletz baskets.
Bear grass and maidenhair fern are used for overlay to make our traditional designs
or marks in our baskets and both are picked in late summer.
Any Tribal members interested in gathering can call Bud Lane at 800-922-1399,
ext. 1320, or 541-444-8320, or email budl@ctsi.nsn.us.
Just a reminder – basket materials must be gathered in a timely fashion. Due to
our changing climate, these times may vary.
Here is a general breakdown of gathering times for different materials:
Come & learn more about electronic cigarettes, chewing
tobacco, hooka, commercial tobacco and traditional tobacco.
