The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians has partnered with the Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County (EDALC) to provide an opportunity for individuals and businesses to sponsor dance categories for the upcoming Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow, taking place on August 9th, 10th and 11th at the Pauline Ricks Memorial Pow-Wow Grounds in Siletz, OR.
All sponsorships will be highlighted in the Siletz News and announced during the Pow-Wow. This will be the first year that sponsorships are available to be processed on an online platform. If you sponsor a dance category, or a place within a category, your name and/or business name will be announced by the emcee over the P.A. system when the prize is awarded to the winning dancer. You can also choose to be an anonymous donor. If preferred, you can still sponsor a category by contacting our Cultural Education Manager, AJ Warren, at AJW@ctsi.nsn.us.
The Tribe would like to thank EDALC for stepping up and providing this platform. The Tribe itself does not currently have an online donation platform for this purpose, so EDALC has generously stepped forward to donate their staff time and Community Connector Grant Funds to this website development, hosting, online store, credit card fees, and other costs related to this year’s project. This platform also allows people to submit general donations to the pow-wow, if you so choose.
You can learn more about the great work EDALC has done on the Tribe’s behalf by visiting their website at https://takeactionlincolncounty.com/.
If you have any questions about this, you can reach out to Lisa Norton at LisaN@ctsi.nsn.us.
