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.

Comcast NBCUniversal
commits $2 million in
airtime to First Nations
Development Institute
L O N G M O N T, C o l o . – F i r s t
Nations Development Institute (First
Nations) announced Feb. 3 that Comcast
NBCUniversal has provided airtime valued
at $2 million to promote First Nations’ pub-
lic service announcements on cable chan-
nels during March and December 2015.
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.

tural heritage, or natural resources – and

long-term vitality of American Indian
communities.
