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.

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.

It is essential that the attitudes

that end, a questionnaire has been
developed and will be distributed
to all residents asking for their

Warm Springs lost a friend last
week when Larry Calica died sud
denly at his desk. 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. He was a mem
ber of the health and welfare corn
