Siletz Tribes Hold Annual Pow Wow
T he traditional Pow W ow in the
N o rth w estern p art o f the U nited
States w as historically called a P ot­
latch. T his w as a tim e for fam ilies
and friends to be reunited, a tim e o f
trade, a tim e to give thanks, a tim e to
dance and socialize.
T o d ay ’s potlatch o r pow w ow has
changed with the tim es, m oving into
the m odern age. N ation-w ide there
are sim ilarities in as much as there is
dancing both socially and co m p eti­
tive, craft vendors, and good food.
H ow ever the tone o f each pow w ow
differs. T he them e “T he C ircle o f
F riendship” o f the N esika lllahee
“o u r land” Pow W ow reflects ex a ct­
ly the tone o f this annual event sp o n ­
sored by the C onfederated T ribes o f
Siletz. A lthough com petition d an c­
ing is an integral part o f this pow
wow, the social aspect far o v ersh ad ­
ow s this. For w hen the Siletz N ation
says “ W elcom e to N esika lllah e e”
and “jo in our circle o f friendship”

they are exten d in g an invitation to
all those who w ould celebrate life as
it is.
Each year, on the second w eek­
end in A ugust the Siletz T ribe holds
their annual pow wow, one o f the
largest in the State, in the sm all tow n
o f Siletz located inland from N ew ­
port along the O regon Coast.
D ancing begins Friday evening
w hich is m ore a social evening than
com petition and continues th ro u g h ­
out the w eekend.
D ozens o f T ribes are represented
in these com petition and social danc­
es and hundreds o fco n testan ts com ­

An endless variety o f food, native
arts and crafts and jew elry are of­
fered by the n u m e ro u s v en d o rs

T hinking of trying a
w rinkle cream?
Start with realistic expectations,
and do a "split-face" test. If you are
40 and want to look 20, it ju st isn 't
going to happen," said Dr Suzanne
Bruce, associate professor o f d erm a­
tology at Baylor C ollege of M edi­
cine in H ouston. "H ow ever, som e of
the products are helping to sm ooth
fine lines, even blotchy pigm enta­
tion and soften dry spots."
Im provem ent, she says, will be
g rad u al and su b tle. S in ce m ost
wrinkle cream s are m arketed as cos­
m etics, Bruce encourages patients to
be cautious before buying.
" O th e r - th e - c o u n te r c o s m e tic
cream s have not been subjected to
rigorous scientific testing needed to
be sold as a drug,” she said. "Take a
look at the ingredients before buy­
ing."
The active ingredients found in
products sold as wrinkle cream s in­
clude glycolic acid, lactic acid, sali­
cylic acid, vitamin C o r Ethoxyhexy I
Bicyclooctanone.
Only two prescription m edications
are currently used to com bat photo­
aging, or wrinkles from sun dam age.
These are Renova, w hich is approved
by the Food and Drug A dm inistra­
tion for im proving signs o f sun d am ­
age, and Lachydrin, w hich is ap ­
proved for dry skin
"C ream s, w hether prescription or
cosm etic, can cost from 40 to 100
dollars for a sm all supply," Bruce
said "T o m ake sure they are not
w asting m oney, I encourage patients
to do a split-face test for three to four
m onths."
By applying wrinkle cream to half
the face and applying their m oistur­
izer to the other half, patients can test
the cream ’s effectiveness.
“ It takes discipline, but it’s really
the best way for them to see if they
like the results,” she said. "If you
apply it to your w hole face from the
start, it will be difficult to judge how
well it is w orking."
A nother key factor in w rinkle
cream use is sun protection.
“ If you are still going to the tan­
ning salon or laying our, sun dam age
while triggering new dam age.”
Men and w om en should use a fa­
cial moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher
every day even if (hey do not use a
wrinkle cream.
“It's a good idea to discuss wrinkle
cream selection with a dermatologist,
especially if you skin has been easily
irritated in the past,” Bruce said.
