STAHS keeps moving ahead with museum
The last 18 months have been difficult
to say the very least for everyone every-
where. There’s been nothing easy about it.
Even so, during this time the Siletz
Tribal Arts and Heri-
tage Society has
continued to
push toward
the ultimate
goal of build-
ing A Place
for the People,
a museum that
will be located on
Government Hill in Siletz, Ore.
Gloria Ingle, Teresa Simmons, Angela
Ramirez and Shantel Hostler Peacock,
members of the STAHS unpaid volunteer
board, are proud of the progress that has
been made despite the many challenges.
As with all things, money is needed
to achieve this goal. We have experienced
continued success in fundraising efforts in
the form of grants thanks to the efficiency
and tenacity of STAHS Capital Campaign
Coordinator Stephen Reichard and the
support of the Siletz Tribal Council.
The Tribe is in need of certified homes to care for
Tribal children in need of emergency, short term
And long term placements.
This year, $1,569,000 has either been
received or committed toward the museum
with another $1.25 million in grant pro-
posals submitted for approval.
It’s been a long, hard struggle to grow
the funds needed to build the museum.
There is much further yet to go, but we are
confident that one day, together as one, we
will be able to celebrate the opening of A
Place for the People, a learning center for
generations to come.
