The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians invite the community to an afternoon of shared learning and conversation focused on the cultural, historical, and contemporary significance of the Tribe’s relationship with the ocean and honoring the whale. This gathering will be led by the Tribe and supported by the voices of Lisa Norton, Todd Logan, Josh Rilatos, Zena Green, and Angela Sondenaa, whose

participation reflects a collective commitment to cultural responsibility, lived experience, and respectful storytelling. Held in a natural outdoor setting, the event will center Tribal perspectives and values, offering space for listening, reflection, and dialogue. The afternoon is intended to be welcoming, meaningful, and grounded in cultural integrity, honoring the Tribe’s responsibility to share its story in its own way and on its own terms.
