Effective Wednesday, May 7, 2025, the new location of the Tribes’ Eugene Outreach Office will be:

149 W. 12^th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97401

The phone number will remain the same: 541-744-1334.

The Tribes’ Planning Department, with the direction from Tribal Council, has been searching to locate an office sufficient for the Tribes to purchase in order to alleviate the long-time expenses of leasing and provide more space for programs and services in the Eugene Area. There is ample parking located in the back of the building with ADA access.

This new two-story building will be able to continue to serve the Tribal membership without interruption from dedicated staff for Administrative Support, Elders Program and Services, Health Services, Education, and Social Services. This location will also allow for future expansion of outreach support from the Department of Culture and Natural Resources, Planning Department, Housing Department, and the Health Department.

We hope to see you soon and look forward to serving you at this new location.

We’re excited to announce that this year’s Fresh Air Day Camp will be held in person from July 14th–18th and July 21st–25th at the Tribal Hall Reservation (338 Wallace Ave, Coos Bay, OR). Camp runs daily from 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM, and is open to all youth ages 5 and older.

Week One will feature nature-based outdoor adventures—exploring, learning, and engaging with the natural world.

Week Two dives into a full cultural immersion with this year’s Language Camp: Language Strong. Youth will learn alongside tribal families and elders, reconnecting with traditional language and cultural activities in a fun and meaningful way.

Registration Deadline: June 30, 2025  

 Once registered, you will receive an email confirmation with details.

The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua & Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) Circles of Healing (COH) Program works to bring awareness and to support victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, and Human Trafficking.

The month of May includes Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) Day (observed Nationally on May 5th). This day is to recognize high rates of missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, boys, and men. Cases of missing and murdered indigenous people are often underreported and untracked. One in three Native American women may experience violence in their lifetime, while 1 in 4 Native American men may experience violence in theirs. Indigenous Men and Women both had the second highest rate of murder in the United States in 2020. In 2016, there were 5,712 reported missing indigenous people in the United States.

The CTCLUSI COH team will be holding an event on the Coos Bay Boardwalk on Saturday, May 10, 2025 to raise awareness of this topic. This event is open to the community. The Tribe will be holding space for participants would like to hold signs along Highway 101 to help raise awareness.

The COH team will be hosting the event at the Coos Bay Boardwalk from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Food, raffles, and space along the boardwalk for signs to raise awareness about MMIP will be available. Participants are asked to wear the color RED to also help bring awareness to MMIP. In many Indigenous cultures, the color red is believed to be a color that the ancestors, spirits of the deceased can see. Wearing red is a way to show solidarity and raise awareness about the MMIP crisis.

If you or a loved one are experiencing or have experienced Sexual Assault, please reach out to the Circles of Healing team. We are here to help. To reach a confidential Advocate, call 541-294-8624 or 541-808-8152.
