Newport
Newport and its surrounding areas are beautiful and bountiful, offering resources for fishing, logging, shipping, and tourism. Todays community, similar to populations that settled the land in earlier days, is independent, hearty, and versatile.

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians—twenty-seven tribes speaking at least ten languages—were brought together on the Oregon Coast through treaties with the federal government in 1853–55. For decades after, the Siletz people lost many traditional customs, saw their languages almost wiped out, and experienced poverty, killing diseases, and humiliation.
