ABC’s of Siletz Tribal Athletes By Tiffany Stuart The journey of Siletz Tribal athletes started in 2020. I wanted to write a story that my son and Tribal youth would be interested in reading. I interviewed 24 people and researched the other athletes in this book. I conducted all the interviews over the phone during the pandemic. These pages are just a glimpse into the lives of Tribal people. I hope to put all the interviews together in another col- lection for our Tribal museum. I completed this work in my own free time. I have a list of more Tribal athletes to interview when time allows. If you have a Siletz Tribal athlete you think should be in this collection, please email me at siletztiffanydawn@gmail.com. Thank you to everyone who has helped with this book. In the upcoming months, you can enjoy reading these stories in our Siletz News.
