The government established an Indian agency at Siletz in 1857. Within 30 years, hardship had reduced the Indian numbers to approximately 600. By the time the agency closed in 1925, "Government Hill" had grown to include a blockhouse, boarding house, schoolhouse, barn, office building, employee residences, hospital/ meeting house, and cemetery, several of which have since been destroyed. The site remains a focal point for members of the Siletz tribes. [10] |
