Siletz Tribal Arts and Heritage Society

In 1954, the federal government terminated the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians; 21 years later, our tribal status was restored but not before losing a generation of cultural transmission. The Mission of the Siletz Tribal Arts and Heritage Society is to support and promote the practice, conservation, and restoration of the tribal cultures of the 38 distinct tribes and bands that comprise the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians through the development of a cultural heritage center and museum. American Indians experience the worst health of any population in the U.S. This center will help restore not only the cultures of the Siletz people but their health as well. We have raised $2.5 million - to be matched 3:1 by Tribal Council - to build Ghii De-Nee Dvn, A Place for the People.
