MILL-LUCK SALMON
CELEBRATION ANNOUNCED
Experience Coquille Native American Culture September 10-11
Mark your calendars for Friday and Sat
urday, September 10-11, when The Mill
Casino Hotel will be the venue for the first
Annual Mill-Luck Salmon Celebration,
sharing the culture and traditions of the
Coquille Indians and other Pacific North
west Tribes with residents and visitors to
Oregon's Bay Area.
The festivities begin at 7:30 p.m. on Fri
day evening, with a Native American mu
sic performance by the R. Carlos Nakai
Quartet in The Mill Casino's Salmon Room.
R. Carlos Nakai has used the traditional
Native American flute in exciting new
musical settings creating a new genre that has found widespread popularity.
With the R. Carlos Nakai Quartet, Nakai continues this musical experiment by
joining the haunting sound of the cedar flute with sax, bass, keyboards, drums
and female vocals. Tickets go on sale July 12, 2004 in The Mill's General Store,
or charge by phone by calling 1-800-953-4800 or 541-756-8800.
On Saturday, September 11, the vendors' marketplace opens at 10 a.m., with
Native artisans from across the Pacific Northwest offering handcrafted items.
Performances of drumming, dance and music will continue throughout the day,
as will cultural displays. Canoe races will periodically take place on Coos Bay
alongside demonstrations of traditional canoe carving methods. Children will
have an opportunity to learn traditional Native American games and crafts.
The highlight of the event will be a Salmon Bake, with salmon cooked in a
traditional Coquille open-pit.
"We always look for opportunities to share our culture with the broader Coos
BayNorth Bend community," said Tribal Chairman Ed Metcalf. "We hope to
see many of our friends and neighbors at this celebration of our Coquille tradi
tions." Located directly on the Highway 101 waterfront of scenic Coos Bay, The Mill
Casino Hotel is a favorite destination for Bay Area residents and one of the
premier attractions on Oregon's South Coast. Its mix of Nevada-style casino
games, dining options for every palate, and distinctive accommodations offers
something for everyone. Schedules of current and upcoming events are available
throughout the casino or on their web site, www.themillcasino.com.
The scheduled day for vendors will be Saturday, September 11, 2004 from 10
a.m. to 7 p.m. If interested, your booth should be reserved as soon as possible
due to the limited amount of available space.
