Toledo Honors Veterans And Native Americans

The City of Toledo proclaimed November 2026 as Native American Heritage Month and Nov. 11 as Veterans Day during the November 4th City Council meeting.

Mayor Tracy Mix’s Native American Heritage Month proclamation honored the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, recognizing the tribe’s enduring presence in the region, cultural traditions and contributions to Lincoln County. The proclamation also acknowledged the tribe’s restoration of federal recognition in 1977 and called on residents to learn from Native voices and build lasting relationships with tribal neighbors.

The Veterans Day proclamation recognized Americans who have served in wartime and peacetime, as well as military families, caregivers and loved ones. It also honored those who died in service, those who remain missing and veterans living with visible and unseen wounds. The proclamation encourages residents to thank veterans and support them and their families throughout the year. The city plans to display both proclamations at City Hall.
