Letter o f Congratulations Chairman Delores Pigsley: to Tribal June 23, 1994 Dear Dee: Your recent involvement as Grand Marshall, together with other Oregon tribal officials, in the many highly publicized Rose Festival events, prompts me to write this letter. Based on forty years of work on behalf of tribal governments, I write to commend: * You, as chairman of the Siletz Tribe. * Members of the Tribal Council * Consultants and tribal employees for your efforts to build a strong tribal government. Your continuing efforts to strengthen all aspects of life through your tribal government deserve high commendation. As one of the first tribes to be restored after having endured the ravages of termination, you know perhaps better than ainyone, the meaning and value of tribal sovereignty. The Siletz Tribe may well serve as a model to assure tribal survival. Again, congratulations and best wishes to each and all of you.
