***Harvest Household kits are no longer available as of 11/24/21
Because COVID-19 is still limiting our ability to gather together, the Tribe would like to offer Fall Harvest Household Kits for interested Tribal families in lieu of the Fall Harvest Party. Fall Harvest Household Kits are limited, so they will be available on a first come first served basis while supplies last.
These kits are sponsored in part by Youth Suicide Prevention, and Tobacco Prevention Grants. Thank you Family Services for providing these funds and making these kits possible.

Tribal Forest Closures (open update 9/20/21)
All,
Effective immediately, the Tribe will be instituting a closure of the Tribal Forest for all areas where the Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) is at Level II or higher. This closure is necessary to protect the Tribal Forest from the risk of loss due to wildfire.
IFPL’s are updated throughout fire season by the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) and the Coos Fire Protection Association (CFPA), which are responsible for protecting the Tribal Forest from wildfire. ODF and CFPA monitor fuel moisture levels as well as weather trends throughout fire season, and adjust the IFPL’s accordingly.
Note that after the recent rain event, all seven of the Tribal Forest tracts are currently at IFPL I. This means that all areas of the Tribal Forest are currently open. The table below shows the current IFPL and closure status for each tract on the Tribal Forest.
| Tribal Forest Area | Fire Protection Zone | Current IFPL as of 9/20/2021 | Current Closure Status as of 9/20/2021 |
| Lake Tract | WT-1 | IFPL I | Open |
| Smith Tract | WT-1 | IFPL I | Open |
| Tioga Tract | CS-2 | IFPL I | Open |
| Macy Tract | CS-1 | IFPL I | Open |
| Umpqua Eden | CS-1 | IFPL I | Open |
| Coos Head | CS-1 | IFPL I | Open |
| Talbot Tract | CS-1 | IFPL I | Open |
Please see the attached closure notice for more details on this closure, as well as information on how to obtain the current IFPL for specific areas on the Tribal Forest. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Colin Beck, Forest Lands Manager

COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics and Resources
Check here for a list of resources and clinic links available.
***Originally published 4/20/21.
CTCLUSI has ended our independent first-time dose clinics. Our second dose (booster) clinics will be complete in May, 2021. CTCLUSI has been closely working with Local Public Health here in Coos County to ensure that our community stays safe, informed and protected. CTCLUSI has played a small role in helping our Local Health Partners with vaccine clinics, and will continue to do so. Please keep an eye on the resources that are provided for updates.
Recently local pharmacies have taken on an important role of vaccinating our Communities as well. Coos Health and Wellness, Bay Area Hospital, Coquille Valley Hospital, Southern Coos Hospital, and the Coastal Community Center have all held large vaccine events and recently have had difficulties filling their clinics, even when opening it up to everyone to prevent wasted vaccine at the end of a clinic day. Partnering with our local partners also allows for our CTCLUSI staff to have more time to provide services for our Tribal members and community.
- CTCLUSI and Coos Health and Wellness are partnering to get Pfizer into Coos County.
- Pfizer is approved for individuals 16 years of age and older.
- Keep an eye out for updates on this CTCLUSI website.
- Tribal Members:
- Please make sure that you answer your phone for auto-dialer message for information about future clinics. If you don’t have Voice-Mail set up, please do so, so you don’t miss this important message.
- We will do our best to send out Post-Card updates once we have more information, and as time permits. Once we receive Pfizer, CHW will have a two-week span of time to use it.
