This is the third year for the Siletz Arts and Heritage Society to present the STAHS Award to a person who has taken measures to promote, celebrate and share the unique qualities, history and culture of indigenous peoples of this continent.
This year’s recipient, Roger Robertson, has been a champion for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians for many years, over the air waves, at meetings, in promoting many Tribal events, and promoting good will on behalf of the indigenous people of the area. From the opening of the casino in 1995 to the present day, he has helped to celebrate the many contributions of the Siletz Tribe.
