Indians Tribal Community Center, 338 Wallace Ave., Coos Bay. The

Agenda items will include grant reports, current projects and upcoming
plans. The commission will invite public comments. The meeting will be

“The Coos Bay area has an outstanding number of historic resources from
the North Bend and Coos Bay downtowns, to Tribal history, to the
Egyptian Theater, Coos Historical & Maritime Museum and several
cemeteries. We want to be sure the community is aware of the services we
have available to them,” noted program coordinator Kuri Gill.

people and organizations working with Oregon heritage and historic
