Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians

The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians have lived in areas from the Coast to the Cascade Mountains, in plank-slab houses. They historically ate salmon and shellfish, and wisely used their cedar trees as resources for everything, from clothing to canoes. As the proud owners of Three Rivers Casino in Florence, these tribes entertain their guests through over 300 slot machines, six-deck and double-deck blackjack tables. September is a perfect time to visit, as the annual tradition at Umpqua River and Discovery Center celebrates watershed restoration and salmon recovery. At this celebration, feel free to partake in alder-baked salmon dinners, drumming, dancing and storytelling.
