Presenting testimony on legislation to restore the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (Oregon) to the status of a federally recognized tribe, these hearings from the 95th Congress include: (1) the text of the bill itself (S. 1560); (2) testimony given by 3 individuals (a representative from the Tribal Council of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians; the Acting Deputy Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior; and the Director of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission); and (3) submitted materials (letters and prepared statements). Identified as among those American Indian tribes of Western Oregon which were terminated by the Act of 1954, this group of people is described statistically as follows: a 44% unemployment rate in Lincoln County, Oregon where the majority of the population is Siletz; a median family income among Indians in the town of Siletz of $3,300; roughly 70% of the Indian students in the Siletz school with only 1 parent due to the death of the other parent; and among 84 Siletz Indians questioned in a nonrandom survey, reports of dental needs at 52.9%, visual needs at 22%, and medical at 21%. Designed to help the Siletz improve their socioeconomic status, the bill, as presented in this document, calls for the restoration of Federal tribal recognition, making these tribes eligible for the Indian health, education, and economic assistance programs of the Federal Government.
