November 2022
The Athletic Commission was formed to promote and offer different types
of sports activities at the Siletz Tribe’s gaming center and/or at other locations
on Tribal trust land. It was established to create rules and regulations for the
conduct of each sporting activity and to regulate each sporting activity that is
authorized by the Tribal Council.
The Athletic Commission consists of three members and a Tribal Council
member. Two of the three members may be a non-Tribal member with experi-
ence in the conduct and regulation of sporting activities.
The Athletic Commission shall permit and regulate only those sporting
activities specifically authorized by Tribal Council and permitted by applicable
law. The following activities are authorized by Tribal Council: boxing (amateur
and professional), wrestling (amateur and professional) and mixed martial arts
(amateur and professional).
The Athletic Commission shall be responsible for regulation of any sporting
activity that occurs on Siletz lands to ensure that the conduct of such sporting
activity comports with all Athletic Commission regulations and applicable laws.
Athletic Commission members shall be reimbursed for approved travel,
subject to the availability of funds.
