    History of the Siletz This Page Intentionally Left Blank for Printing Purposes

    History of the Siletz This page intentionally left blank for printing purposes. History of the Siletz Historical Perspective The purpose of this section is to discuss the historic difficulties suffered by ancestors of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (hereinafter Siletz Indians or Indians). It is also to promote understanding of the ongoing effects and circumstances under which the Siletz people struggle today. Since time immemorial, a diverse number of Indian tribes and bands peacefully inhabited what is now the western part of the State of Oregon. The Siletz Tribe includes approximately 30 of these tribes and bands.1 Our aboriginal land base consisted of 20 million acres located from the Columbia to the Klamath River and from the Cascade Range to the Pacific Ocean. The arrival of white settlers in the Oregon Government Hill – Siletz Indian Fair ca. 1917 Territory resulted in violations of the basic principles of constitutional law and federal policy. The 1787 Northwest Ordinance set the policy for treatment of Indian tribes on the frontier. It provided as follows: The utmost good faith shall always be observed toward the Indians; their land and property shall never be taken from them without their consent; and in the property, rights, and liberty, they never shall be invaded, or disturbed, unless in just, and lawful wars authorized by Congress; but laws founded in justice and humanity shall from time to time be made for preventing wrongs being done to them, and for preserving peace, and friendship with them. 5 Data was collected from the Oregon 012.5 255075100 Geospatial Data Clearinghouse.

These volcanic complexes Siletzia is a basaltic Paleocene and Eocene Farallon and/or Resurrection-Farallon ridge include the Siletz River Volcanics (SRV) of Ore- large igneous province in coastal Oregon, between 60 and 50 Ma. In this confi guration, gon, the Crescent Formation of Washington, and Washington, and southern Vancouver Island the YHS could have provided a 56–49 Ma the Metchosin igneous complex of southern Van- that was accreted to North America in the source on the Farallon plate for Siletzia, couver Island.
