W..'l ,!M ' The Middle Oregon Indian Historical Society has been award ed a grant for $10,000 from an anonymous trust for Indian edu cation administered by Central Oregon Community College ac cording to Dr. Frederick Boyle, president emeritus of the college. The requested support will enable the museum to develop a full function library with lending and research capabilities. The needs of a new library are many and include a card catalogue, read ing tables and chairs, shelving, a reference desk and a microfilm reader. The archives component will require fire proof file cabinets, acid free folders and boxes for historic photographs and primary documents. Published books and articles to augment the existing collection and duplicated materials of archival records in other reposi tories are necessary to build the archives and library into the re search facility envisioned by Tribal leaders. In additon to providing a community service of a public library, the research component should attract scholars and serious students from across the country, according to Dr. Duane King, Executive Director of the Society. "The funding provided by this grant will result in the museum's library and archives being a well equipped facility with an outstand ing collection of material about the Indians of central Oregon," stated Delbert Frank the Historical Society's Chairman. The planning for the new facility at Warm Springs has been carefully develop ed over the past two decades. COCC has assisted the Tribes' educational effort during this period by training students on campus and by offering a variety of classes and educational programs at Warm Springs. The museum library and archives is consistent with the education mission of COCC on the reservation. I'll'" u' .

J Tribal Council adopts 1990 hunting regulations Getting ready Nolo Queahpama helps another huckleberry basket bearer adiust her Datl'aoa at the annual Huckleberrv Feast at HeHe. Many gathered at the Longhouse despite the extra warm weather. The Warm Springs Tribal Coun cil adopted the 1 990 big game hunt ing regulations through resolution 8073 August 6, 1990. Following are those regulations. DEER SEASON Season runs from August 18 through October 31. Bag Limit One antlered deer per month per family. According to 1989 post season herd counts, the buck to doe ratio is 50 bucks to 100 does, a ratio that exceeds the tribal management goal limit that requires a ratio of 20 to 25 bucks per 100 does. The recom mended bag limit and season should maintain deer herd composition and numbers at or above the man agement goal. Protection of does should con tinue until the desired population levels are attained. The reservation deer herd size has doubled over the past six years, largely because does have not been harvested. Over the last two years, two bucks could be taken by tribal hun ters during September. Deer pro duction was down with the lowest fawn to doe ratio the natural resources department has observed in their game inventories. They attribute the low ratio to the drought of 1988 and extremely cold late-winter weather in 1989. There were 36 fawns per 100 does in the 1989 winter herd composi tion count. ELK SEASON Season runs from November 1 through November 30. Bag Limit One antlered elk per family. Elk populations are growing on the reservation. However, target population goals have not been established and quality habitat is being lost in some areas. Until population goals are set, female harvest should not occur. Natural resources personnel found in the spring count 45 bulls per 100 cows and 46 calves per 100 COWSi BEAR SEASON Season runs from August 18 through November 30. Bag Limit One bear per month per family. Cubs and sows with cubs are protected. The reservation has a healthy population of black bear and there is very little hunting pressure by tribal members. Sixty tags were issued in 1989 with no reported harvest.

There will, of course, be some practical limits to the total area to which service can be provided based on funds available. It is essential that the attitudes and feelings of the residents of the Reservation are known prior to initiating any such project. Toward that end, a questionnaire has been developed and will be distributed to all residents asking for their comments on a variety of items pertaining to the costs and types of television services desired. To in sure the success of any future project it is vitally important that all residents make their feelings known by filling out the question naire.

The untimely death of the 43-year-old General Manager of Planning and Govern mental Affairs July 31 left the Warm Springs community in un believing shock and deep grief. During the days following his death, friends, family and co workers reminisced about Larry, sharing stories about what he meant to them. Through the reminiscing, people confirmed what they pre viously knew Larry was a kind man, a thinker, one who looked to the future while always keeping a careful eye on the past and tribal traditions. Love and respect were evident as hundreds gathered at the Simna sho Longhouse Thursday and Fri day for dressing and Washut and Seven-Drum ceremonies. The cere monies joined friends and strangers, alike, who had one common con cernto honor a friend who had passed on. Larry began his career with the Confederated Tribes in 1973 when he was hired as treatment coordi nator at the tribal group home. He left the position in 1 977 and in 1978 he became director of the health, welfare and probation programs. From 1980 to 1983 he was human resources systems manager and from 1983 through 1984, he was named administrative assistant to Secretary Treasurer Ralph Min nick. In 1984, Larry became acting secretary treasurer, a position he held until 1986 when he was named permanent secretary treasurer. In 1989, Larry assumed his general manager's position when the tribal structure was reorganized and Ken Smith was hired as Chief Executive Officer. Larry's work history with the Tribe included committee appoint ments, two terms on Tribal Coun cil and involvement with state and local organizations.
