Qwest Announces Reduced-Rate Programs Qwest has announced two programs intended to promote telephone availability to low-income individuals on Indian reservations. These are more generous versions of the existing Lifeline and Link Up programs. The Tribal Lifeline and Tribal Link Up programs operate at reduced rates, allowing people living on reservations to access telephone services for as little as $1 per month. Toll restriction (blocking) services are available. These services let customers limit the amount of toll charges they incur. Call 1 -800-244-1111 with questions or to request an application for either program. Highlights of the Tribal Lifeline Program include: • Qualified individuals receive basic local telephone service for as low as $1/month. • Current Lifeline customers living on reservations can qualify for this program just by completing and returning the appropriate form. • This program is available to all qualified people living on a reservation. • • Highlights of the Tribal Link Up Program include: The program pays half of the initial installation charge up to a maximum of $30. If line extension charges or construction charges apply, the program pays up to $70. Individuals living on reservations qualify for the program if they participate in one of the following programs: • BIA General Assistance • Medicaid • Food Stamps • Supp. Security Income (SSI) • Head Start (meeting income requirement) • Tribally Administered Temporary Housing for Needy Families • Federal Public Housing Assistance • Low-Income Home Energy Assistance • National School Lunch Program • Other qualifying programs approved by the state Lifeline and Link Up programs Rose Lowenburg, Jeanna Harrington (center), and Kaitlyn Harrington Chairman, con’t from page 3 American Indians convention where Joe was honored for his many contributions to Indian affairs. I am proud of the fact that Joe was closely associated with and an ardent supporter of the Siletz Tribe. At a moment’s notice, he would agree to be a featured speaker for various Siletz events, including our Restoration celebrations. Whether serving as president of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, chairman of the National Tribal Chairman’s Association or president of the National Congress of American Indians, Joe fought tenaciously to protect and preserve tribal sovereignty. He also was one of the movers behind the Indian Self-Determination Act and the Indian Self- Sufficiency Program, both of which are now firmly established fixtures in Indian affairs. I am among many here at Siletz who are personally proud to have known him and am indebted to the legacy he has left us. 19
