K:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. due to in
creased fire danger. It also restricts
power saws to certain areas.
Fire precaution levels change de
pending on fire conditions. Industrial
fire precaution levels include.

Survey indicates KWSO listeners prefer
There were two general objec
tives of the Warm Springs public
radio needs assessmentsurvey con
ducted earlier this year.
General Objective One:
Conduct a listener survey for
public radio station, KWSO 9 1 .9 FM,
that will help to select and design
radio programs that respond to the
needs of the Confederated Tribes of
the Warm Springs Indian Reserva
tion, Oregon.
General Objective Two:
Conduct a needs assessment
within the tribal community and use
the result to select a topic for a sys
tematic, integrated educational radio
campaign.
The SurveyNeeds Assessment
described in this report was conducted
from February 17 through March 25,
1992 on the reservation. In collabo
ration with the Academy for Educa
tional Development (a non-profit
community development organiza
tion based in Washington D.C.),
KWSO took the following steps to
plan the project, select respondents
(members of the community to be
interviewed), conduct the interviews,
and analyze the feelings.
STEP ONE: Planned the Survey
Needs Assessment
1. A questionnaire was developed
(Annex 1) with questions on radio
use and preferences as well as a
question on perceived problems
within the tribal community.
2. A joint decision was made to
interview approximately 384 tribally
enrolled community members within
a 4 to 5 week period.
3. Four interviewers (3 Warm
Springs Tribal members, 1 Yakima
Tribal member) were hired and
trained.
STEP TWO: Selected Respon
dents and "Got the word out"
1. The Tribal Vital Statistics Of
fice provided a complete list of en

the hours of 8 p.m. and I p.m. local
time;
In addition, the following arc per
mitted to operate between the hours
of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. local time:
TractorlshdJer operations
Mechanized loading or hauling of
any product or material; Blasting;
Welding or cutting of metal; Any
other spark emitting operation not
specifically mentioned.
General Shutdown All opera
tions are prohibited.
Note: Where hauling involved
transit through more than on a shut
downregulated use area, the precau
tion level at the woods loading site
shall govern the level of haul restric
tion, unless otherwise prohibited by
other than the industrial precaution
level system.
Note: The IFPL system docs not
apply on lands protected by ODF
east of the summit of the Cascades.
The following definitions shall
apply to these industrial fire precau
tion levels:
Loading sites: A place where any
product or material (including, but
not limited to logs, firewood, slash,
rolled tribal members. To achieve
project objectives, KWSO selected
from this original list all those tribal
members who are aged 14 or over,
and who live in Warm Springs, Ma
dras, or Cul vcr, a total of 1 ,6 1 2. Joh n
Anderson, Systems Analyst and
Programmer with the Tribal Human
Services Department, used a com
puter random number generation
program to select a list of 384 Tribal
Members to be interviewed. Two
alternate lists of 200 members each
were also randomly generated as
back-ups in case some of the 384
members could not be located.
2. In order to "get the word out"
and contact the chosen respondents
KWSO called those on the list who
had telephones (only about 20 of
those selected had listed telephone
numbers), posted names in key lo
cations on the reservation, sent
postcards, announced names on the
radio and publicized names in the
tribal newspaper. A drawing for a
trip to Disneyland was publicized to
encourage those on the list to get in
touch with the radio station for an
interview.
Only those who completed the
interview were eligible to win the
trip. The winner was subsequently
chosen by computer.
3. Interviews were conducted by
telephone when possible, but the ma jority
of interviews were conducted
face-to-face. To accomplish this, in
terviewers visited people's homes,
made trips to the Senior Center, and
spent fifteen days stationed at central
locations such as Macy's Mercantile
(grocery store) and the Tribal Ad
ministration Building at which they
intercepted community members
whose names were on the lists.
STEP THREE: Analyzed the
Findings
1 . In the end, a total of 367 enrolled
tribal members of the Confederated
business opportunity right here in
Portland.
For those of you that missed the
first meeting, the session consisted
of an overview of the Native
American Entrepreneurs Network
and some of the benefits of forming
a chapter. Local participants also
voiced some concerns regarding the ,
lack of local, culturally appropriate .
training services. It was agreed to
continue to search for positive solu
tions to local barriers of doing busi-.
ness on the reservation. In addition, ,
the participants filled out a survey
form which will be part of a regional
data base detailing all the American
soil, rock, poles, etc.) is placed in or
upon truck or other vehicle.
Cable yarding systems: A yard
ing system employment cables, and
winches in a fixed position.
Low hazard area: Any area
where the responsible agency repre
scniative (WDNR.ODF, UFSF, BI A,
BLM) determines the combination
of the elements, reduces the prob
ability of a fire starting andor
spreading.
Closed season (Fire Precau
tionary period): That season of the
year when a fire hazard exists as

Tribes of Warm Springs completed
the survcWhccds assessment. A total
of 343 (93.5) actual completions
with only 24 respondents (6.5) of
the total wito declined from being
interviewed.
2. Similar responses to each of the
2 1 questions were put into categories
and the number of responses in each
category was totalled. Then, this to
tal was presented as a percentage of
all responses given to that question.
If a percentage was less than three
percent, the response was put into an
umbrella category called "other."
(The exception to this are the re
sponses to Q. 14, in which respondents
were asked to make any comment
they wished about KWSO). While
these less common responses are not
listed in this report, they are available
through KWSO, and were taken into
consideration by the research team.
3. The research team met to dis
cuss, in detail, the community's re
sponse to each question. Together,,
the entire planningresearch team
brainstormed about what that re
sponse meant in terms of overall
community preferences for KWSO
programs, problems percei vedby the
community that the radio station may
be able to address through an inte
grated campaign, and potential dif
ferences in opinion among subgroups
within the community (i.e. older and
younger members).
4. In an effort to learn lessons
from this research experience, and
guide others who may embark on a
similar research effort, the team listed
those things that they think helped to
make this surveyassessment a suc
cess. This project uncovered a wealth
of information which includes the
following: 1. What Warm Springs
Tribal members look for in radio; 2.
What they perceive as priority prob
lems in their community; 3. How
Entrepreneurs within the ATNI re
gion. The benefits of filling out this
survey are:
1. The foundation of a current
data base which documents all the
Indian owned business in the
Northwest;
2. Your name and business will be
on record for any future opportunities
which come into the ATNI Regional
Office.

KWSO might better serve the com
munity. These findings will serve several
purposes for KWSO. In addition to
providing a basis for designing future
KWSO programs, the opinions re
corded here will be used to define a
topic area for a second phase of in
depth research into community needs.
This second phase of research will
give birth to an integrated educational
radio campaign. The KWSO research
team is happy to share these findings
with others and to discuss many
creative ways in which they can be
used to collaboratively serve the
Warm Springs tribal community.
Executive Summary of Findings
Below are a few highlights from
the rich set of findings, separated by
surveyassessment themes.
Theme: Patterns of Radio Use
Ninety-eight percent of those in
terviewed listen to the radio and
ninety-two percent of these listen to
KWSO.
Most KWSO listeners tune-in in
the morning hours, with over fifty
percent listening between 6:00 and
9:00 a.m.
Three radio stations are most
popular among respondents: KXIQ,
KWSO, and KTWI (in that order).
While the majority of people who
listen to KXIQ and KTWI listen for
an estimated one to five hours per '
week (45 and 35 respectively),
the majority of KWSO listeners

tural programming, researchers were
able to collect a three page list of
individuals within the tribal commu
nity who are respected for their ex
pertise in cultural issues such as tra
ditions, artscrafts, legends, history,
language and history.
Theme: Priority IssuesProb
lems When asked to name the one
problem that they feel is the most
important today within the Warm
Springs tribal community, 32 of
respondents named either drugs, al
cohol, or both; 13 named jobs.
Other responses included education,
economy, natural resources; a num
ber of other problems were named by
three percent or fewer people.
Theme: Comments or Sugges
tions for KWSO
Additional, undirected comments
offered by respondents ranged
widely. Nineteen percent stated they
they would like more of a certain
type of music, 14 percent said they
would like KWSO to be on the air
longer hours, and 14 commented
that they feel KWSO is doing a good
job.
A compilation of listener re
sponses is available through KWSO.
It includes many innovative ideas
such as inviting community members
to deejay on the station. The KWSO
team will take into careful consider
ation each and every suggestion made
by respondents.
