NOTICES
Alder Firewood Avail
for Cutting
s
■»
A new alder firewood area should
now be open for tribal member
woodcutting. The South Fork #1 ROW
unit, located about 11 miles from Siletz,
was expected to open in late January
and will remain open until its limited
amount of wood has been cut or until the
main harvest unit is sold.
The available wood is primarily
alder located in decks along a recently
constructed rock road. Permits are
required and may be obtained at the
tribal Natural Resources office in the
administration building in Siletz from 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. Maps,
directions, fire season restrictions, and
equipment requirements also are
available at the same location. Out-of-
the-Siletz-area woodcutters may call the
number below to have a permit mailed
to them.
The permits are for tribal member
woodcutting for personal use only. This
firewood may not be sold. Persons
wishing to cut wood for elders must
present a signed note from the elder
stating that the individual is authorized
to cut firewood on their behalf. The note
should include the elder’s tribal
ID number.
Permits will be good for two
weeks and up to two cords of wood may
be cut on each permit. Due to the limited
supply of wood available, each tribal
member will be limited to four cords total
from this unit.

New OHSU Vessel to Honor Indian Traditions
An Oregon State University
research vessel honoring Indian
traditions and Oregon natural resources
is scheduled to start service this summer
and will be operated by OSU’s College
of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences.
The 54-foot Elakha will cost about
$500,000, with funding coming from
various grants. It will operate primarily
out of Newport, with a range that
includes the Oregon Coast, Columbia
River, and other Oregon estuaries.
Elakha is the Chinook trading
language word for sea otter. The name
was selected after consultation with
researchers and representatives of
regional Native American groups.
Chinook trading language is a mixture
of sounds and phrases developed to
ease trade among Northwest tribes not
sharing a common language.
The college has two other vessels
with Native American names, the 185-
foot Wecoma, which means ocean, and
the 37-foot Sacajawea.
A commissioning ceremony
involving Oregon Native Americans will
occur
this
summer
following
construction of the Elakha.
