Event honors American Indian pride
The 13th annual celebration
of civil, human and equal
rights,
titled
“Images,
Indigenous,
Inhabitants,”
included the history of
the Siuslaw People, their cus-
toms, tools and traditions
displayed in the Bromley
Room at the Siuslaw Public
Library, on Friday, Feb. 13.
The educational event,
sponsored by KXCR commu-
nity radio in cooperation
with the Confederated Tribes
of the Coos, Lower Umpqua
and Siuslaw Indians, received
high
marks
from
an
appreciative audience.
The program opened with
an impressive audio/visual
presentation by Richard
Koehler and Jenny Velinty.
It outlined indigenous
peoples’ ancient migration
quest to find new territory
around the globe, leaving
the marks, art and artifacts of
early civilization.
The
innovative
civic,
moral and spiritual wisdom
that guided early people
over the centuries is with us
today, trail-blazing values
that European generations
have been slow to learn.
The program continued

with the Confederated Tribes
of Coos, Lower Umpqua
and Siuslaw Indians Culture
Department, who demonstrat-
ed many of the tribes’
hand-made
fishing
and
hunting tools as he fielded
questions from an engaged
crowd who wanted to learn
more.
The focus turned to
the younger tribal members
under the direction of
Lynn
Anderson,
Indian
Education Director at Siuslaw
Elementary School, and her
enthusiastic young dancers
from ages 5-13.
The students represented
their tribe by wearing
their regalia ankle bells,
silver jingles, moccasins and
necklaces.
The dancers demonstrated
a variety of steps associated
with their particular tribal
heritage accompanied by
rhythmic drumming.
It
was
a
moving
celebration of pride in
Indian
culture,
showing
elders’ determination
to
nurture a sense of per-
sonal value in the new
generation to bring peace,
honor
and
dignity
to
their lives. – Submitted by Stu

All military branches are
represented by individual flag-

well.”
The matching funds grant
was for $10,000.
Thanks
to
generous
donations from members of
the community the project
was completed for less than the
original estimate.
Therefore, the amount
awarded by DAR was a total of
$5,500.
Funding for this project was
made possible through the
sponsorship
of
Oregon
Dunes
Chapter
National
Society Daughters of the
American Revolution, located
in Florence.
The Oregon Coast Military
Museum anticipates having
set hours to be open after the
holidays.
It will be the only military
museum on the Oregon Coast.
The museum’s mission is
twofold: first, to educate
residents and visitors about the
roles our military members
(both past and present)
have played in defending the
freedoms we all enjoy
and, secondly, to provide an
avenue for veterans to display
and share their personal
artifacts,
memorabilia
and memoirs, as well as pro-
vide an oral and visual
history of their honorable
military service.
