The annual Huckleberry Feast
will be held at the Hclle Long
house. 20 miles north of Warm
springs, on Sunday. August 7,
according to the Chief of the Warm
Springs, Dclvis Heath.
A memorial dinner will be held
at the Hclle Longhouse on Satur
day, July 30. Heath said thedinner
is held each year a week prior to the
feast so that those families who are
prepared to "come out" can join
each other. It is also a time when
there can be name givings. Each
year, there are two special dates for
memorials and name givings. Heath
said. One of those is in the summer
before the feast and the other is
held at New Year's. Heath said that
this way, a family doesn't have to
bear the entire expense of the cere
mony alone.
On Sunday. July 31, a day of
blessing will be conducted at the
HeHe Longhouse'.' Heath stated
the blessing day is a day for praying
for the pickers and servers and it
should be a day that young people
should plan to attend. This tradi
tional custom, said Heath, is for

Life Support skills. However,, be
cause IHS doctors are federal
employees, their malpractice insu
rance does not cover them for ser
vices rendered to non-eligible pa
tients. Mt. View Hospital is buying
the necessary malpractice insurance.
Funds to finance the purchase of
the insurance will come out of the
revenue generated by IHS doctors
seeing non-Indian patients. "A por
tion of the proceeds will be returned
to contract health care revenues
and will be used when Madras doc
tors care for Indian patients," said
Loomis.
Mt. View will soon be installing
a telephone line which will allow
people to dial one number to reach
the on-call physician. Until the new
line is installed, patients are encour
aged to contact their usual clinic or
the hospital for after hours assist
ance. Drs. Beamer, Kemper, Lieuallen
and Waldmann may be reached
after hours at 475-6100. Warm
Springs doctors Creelman, Man
ning and Nakamura may be reached
after hours at 475-6055. Patients
can also call the hospital directly at
475-3882.

A imull and obviously disoriented
but was found on the exterior wall
of the Day Care building last week
and was put into a jar to that Day
Care youngsters could get a close
up look at the mammal. Some of
the children asked if the but would
bite while otheri asked if it wus of
the vampire variety.
According to Britannica Encyc
lopedia, there are 40 species of bats
in the United States. Most bats
feed on insects, however, other
types of bats also feed on fruit,
pollen and nectar. Vampire bats in
tropical America feed on the blood
of other mammals and large birds.
While in the west bats are subject
of unfavorable myths, in the Orient
buts are often considered to be
good luck symbols. In the tropics,
where bats are particularly abund
ant, bats attract considerable atten
tion for their noisiness, droppings
and odor. Their droppings are often
used for agricultural purposes.
Large colonies of bats can infest
houses and public buildings..
The wingspread of some bats
can reach five feet, while a smaller
type, the Phillipine bumbo bat, has
a wingspread of not more than six
inches. Bats also display variety in
their color, fur texture and facial
features.
Nearly all bat species roost dur
ing the day and forage at night.
This gives the carnivorous species
an advantage over sleeping prey
and also protects them from preda
tors, sun and high temperatures.
They usually prefer isolated roosts
such as caves, crevices, burrows or
buildings, but sometimes they roost
outdoors on trees or rocks.
The small captive Day Care bat
was released the following day in
an area away from the Day Care.

1988 Ceded Area Hunting Opportunities
As in the past years the State of Oregon will honor ceded area
hunting rights of enrolled tribal members.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife provides
general season deer and elk tags to be used by tribal members.
These tags will be issued free of charge by the Natural Resources
Department.
The following requirements must be met before the Natural
Resources Department can issue tags.
1. Must be an enrolled member
2. Must be at least 14 years of age
3. If the individual is between 14 and 18
years of age heshe must have success
fully passed a certified Hunters Safety
course and carry a signed Hunters Safety
card.
Other requirements for Ceded Area hunting are:
Must abide by state and tribal regulations including:
Must carry a tribal I.D. identifying the
individual as an enrolled member.
Must possess a big game tag issued by the
Natural Resources department.
Must abide by the state adopted seasons
and bag limits.
Must immediately upon harvesting an
animal, validate (cut out the month and
date) on hisher tag and attach the tag to
the animal. The tag must be validated and
attached to the animal during transport
from the field, at camp and kept with the
meat while in the household
Must secure permission to hunt on pri
vate lands.
Since some game management units have different require
ments we highly recommend that tribal members obtain a 1988
Oregon Fall Synopsis of Deer and Elk Regulations. This synop
sis can be acquired from the Natural Resources department of
sporting goods stores throughout the state. Specific unit boun
daries as well as detailed information of other rules and regula
tions are thoroughly explained in this synopsis.

Grizzly, Ochoco, Maury Units, October 1 through October 7).

Controlled Hunts
In 1986 the Confederated Tribe negotiated an agreement with
the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife which allows tribal
members to practice treaty hunting rights during controlled
hunts on ceded lands.
Controlled hunts are generally conducted to reduce numbers
of animals which are at levels too high for the existing habitat,
or are doing crop damage to private lands. Typically these hunts
are held after the general buck or bull seasons and bag limits are
usually restricted to antlerless animals.
When populations are up, due to mild winters or other favor
able conditions; controlled hunt tags are increased. Over the
past four years central Oregon has experienced a series of mild
winters and favorable forage conditions in most management
units. Thus, large blocks of tags have been allocated to harvest
the surplus of animals which has resulted.
The Tribal agreement with the Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife allows for 10 percent of the controlled hunt tags
allocated for each management unit to go to the Tribes.
During the past two years the Fish and Wildlife Commiittee
has selected hunters to harvest the tribes allocation of animals
within the management areas.
These animals have been stored and distributed by the
Department of Natural Resources.
The Culture and Heritage Committee has submitted a prior
ity list of how the animals will be utilized, with tribal member
funerals being the highest priority.
This policy has served several purposes:
It has allowed reservation deer and elk popula
tions to grow. This is vitally important since the
demand for subsistence hunting is expected to
double over the next decade.
It has assured that deer meat will be available for
ceremonial and religious occasions.
It has reestablished ceded area treaty rights prac
tices in a credible manner.
In 1988 there will be approximately 400 controlled hunt deer
tags available to the Tribe. The Fish and Wildlife Committee is
planning to select ceremonial hunters to harvest some ( 1 00-150)
of these animals for tribal purposes. However, there will be
additional tags left over. The Committee is considering issuance
of the remaining tags to individual tribal members. Any tribal
member that is interested in obtaining a controlled hunt tag is
requested to stop by the Natural Resources Office and sign up
for a tag. If there are more members than tags, the Committee
and staff will work on an allocation procedure.
The following big game management units will have con
trolled hunt tags for tribal use.
Unit Tags Season Bag limit
Ochoco 120 Oct 15-23 One antlerless deer
Grizzly 90 Oct 15-23'
Maury 50 Oct 15-23
S.E. Metolius 50 Oct 1 5-2 1
East Biggs 15 Oct 15-23

Hood and Hood 15 Nov 14-27
River Valley
UppeT Deschutes Oct 15-21
North Paulina - Oct 15-23 w
Heppner Oct 15-23
Mostly private lands landowner permission is required. It is
vitally important that tribal members be aware of unit boundar
ies and regulations. The Fish and Wildlife Committee and
Natural Resources Department will acquire and make available
maps and regulations to assist with this effort.
To be determined
Tags will be issued to qualified tribal members at the Natural Resources office beginning August
11 during regular working hours. On August 12, the office will remain open until 6 p.m.
