Douglas attends National Native Media Conference
In July 2018, Siletz student Jessica Douglas attended the National Native Media
Conference in Miami, Fla., for the first time. The conference consisted of workshops
and lectures that focused specifically on the issues in Indian County.
The Native American Journalists Association partnered with the National Associa-
tion of Hispanic Journalists to host the four-day conference.
Douglas is a student at the University of Oregon pursing a journalism degree and
a Native studies and art minor. This fall, with the help of other Native journalists at
UO, Jessica will work to establish a Native American Journalists Association chapter
at the SOJC (School of Journalism and Communication).

Change in Siletz Clinic check-in times
The Siletz Clinic asks all patients with appointments to check in 15 minutes
prior to your scheduled appointment time. This allows for any necessary paperwork
to be completed prior to your appointment with your provider.
Thank you!
Our elders fought to have Native religion honored in U.S. prisons,
but we are currently lacking volunteers to provide those services.
CHANGE LIVES, MAl{E A DIFFERENCE, VOLUNTEER TODAY!
