Limited elk tag opportunity available for Tribal hunters The Tribal Natural Resources Depart- ment will again offer a limited number of Landowner Preference (LOP) elk tags to Tribal members for this fall’s hunting sea- son. As a landowner, the Tribe is eligible to participate in the state’s LOP program. Based on the number of acres that the Tribe owns, we can get six additional antlerless elk tags from the state. These LOP tags are not related to the Tribe’s Consent Decree tags that we receive each year. They are based solely on the Tribe being a landowner. Please note that a major difference between the LOP tags and the Tribe’s regular tags is that only the person drawn for the tag can hunt that tag. The tag can- not be given to someone else to hunt for you. Therefore, only those folks seri- ous about hunting this hunt themselves are eligible to apply. The drawing for the six LOP elk tags will be held at the Natural Resources Committee meeting on April 6 at 4:45 p.m. in the Natural Resources Department Map Room. State license required? Applications are available on the Tribal website (ctsi.nsn.us) and at the Tribal Natural Resources office in Siletz, and are due in the Natural Resources office by 4:30 p.m. on April 3. For more information about these tags and the differences between the Tribe’s regular tags and the LOP tags, contact Natu- ral Resources Manager Mike Kennedy at 541-444-8232 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1232. The important differences between the LOP tags and the Tribe’s regular tags are summarized in the table below.

This is the third consecutive year that Comcast NBCUniversal has made a sig- nificant contribution of broadcast time for First Nations’ 30-second television spots. During 2014, Comcast NBCUniver- sal donated $2 million in airtime and in 2013 it donated more than $1.5 million in airtime, along with $20,000 in cash for production of the two TV spots. As in 2014, the 2015 spots will run in 30 different Comcast markets nationwide. The Comcast Foundation also has supported other projects of First Nations, most notably providing $150,000 over three years toward First Nations’ Urban Native Project. “Comcast NBCUniversal is a major supporter of First Nations Development Institute and many other worthwhile causes in Indian Country and we think that’s truly visionary,” said First Nations President Michael E. Roberts. “We are sincerely thankful and grateful for Comcast NBCUniversal’s support of our efforts, especially when the airtime helps us build awareness of our work and the critical needs in Native communities.” Bill Black, vice president and execu- tive director of the Comcast Founda- tion, said, “First Nations and Comcast NBCUniversal share the same mission of creating and fostering opportunities so that everyone, regardless of income, has a chance to improve their life. We are honored to partner with First Nations for a third consecutive year in support of this mission.” First Nations is headquartered in Longmont, Colo., near Denver, and it serves American Indian communities throughout the United States.
