Annual cerpmonial hunting
Since 1986 the Fish and Wildlife
Committee and the Longhouse
leaders have chosen 20 to 25 hunters
for the ceremonial hunt. This year's
ceremonial hunt started October 12
and will end November 20. Another
will start November 19 until
November 27 concluding this year's
hunt. Hunters usually bring in
between 70 and 100 docs depending
on how much meat is left in the
freezer from the previous year. This
year 75 to 1 00 tags were allocated for
the ceremonial hunt.
Deer from the ceremonial hunt is
used for gatherings, funerals and
memorials. The Tribal Council may
approve use of deer meat for other
activities.
To become eligible forccrcmonial
hunting a person must attend the
hunter's meeting and sign up. The
Longhouse leaders and committee
members choose hunters from the
list. Hunters must pass a drug test. A
hunter must know how to hunt and
take care of the deer meat.
A person is ineligible for hunting
if they have a felony on their police
record. They may be cited for carrying
a firearm.
There are usually only two
butchers, but they tend to fall behind
because of the workload, so four
butchers were hired this year.
Hunters are paid $100 a day if
they bring in deer. The vehicle owners
also get mileage to and from the area
they hunt. Butchers are being paid
$ 1 0.00 an hour when there is meat to
be butchered.
The hides are available to tribal
members. They need only to go to
the warehouse and pick them up,
while they are still fresh. If no one
takes them they are stored in the
freezer. The warehouse is located at
the Industrial Park near the records
center.

On Patrol
by Don Courtney
Tribal Investigator
As a result of the most recent
activities of weapon related incidents;
the police are even more concerned
about who's carrying weapons out
there. Parents and community
members should be concerned about
where these weapons are coming
from. Please check your weapons to
make sure they are still there in the
place you normally keep them. Don't
let tragedy stricke your family. If
you know of someone carrying a
weapon or has possession of a weapon
that maybe they should not have for
whatever reason; Let someone know.
In follw-up to the "Gunshots Net
Arrests" article back in June, this
case was heard before the juvenile
court where the person responsible
plead guilty to his involvement in the
discharge of weapon and reckless
endangering. The West Hills area
was the site where (5) rounds of a
high caliber rifle were discharged in
the housing area. On a related incident
that same morning, police are still
looking for eye witnesses in
connection with the shooting incident
on Tenino road where several shots
from a small caliber weapon were
discharged into a residence. Any
information leading to arrest of the
person or persons responsible will be
appreciated.
October 3, during the early moring
hours, officers were led on a foot
pursuit of several subjects wanted in
connection with shots being fired in
the Upper Dry Creek area. Following
arrest and initial court appearance,
one subject plead guilty to his
involvement with this incident. The
other is yet to be dealt with before the
Tribal Court. Three days later on
October 6, a male adult was shot due
to a domestic dispute that resulted in
the activation of a search and rescue
operation. After about 14 hours, the
search efforts were scaled down. The
subject was later located and medical

McGruff Speaks:
Hello out there; yes I realize it's
been a while since my last
appearence, there have been some
major changes in the police
Administration lately that has caused
me to target in on some of our youth
who are at risk.
You know who you are and I just
want you to really give some thought
about how you are impacting our
community. As we look around at
our culture and heritage, we know
that some of the activities we are
doing is not what being "Indian" is
all about.
What happened to respect, dignity,
and honor. You know, some of us
face challenges each day as to our
identity and what Indian means in
today's society, I challenges each
one of my young friends to let your
inner Indian voice be heard. Gangs,
Alcohol, and Drugs... It's not forme.

leaving the rest to waste. We have
encountered at the least 14 incidents
of this nature, we have also received
information on some suspects taht
are responsible for some elk kills and
we are investigating those as they
come in. Over the last few years, we
have notice a big increase of illegal
kills of elk during deer season, the
illegal hunters have been quite
consistent in wasting of the game
that they kill. The Police Fish and
Game Division will be working with
the Fish and Wildlife Committee to
come up with some idea's to fight
this type of hunting.
The game division has put on some
operations that have strongly
indicated to us that the hunters will
shoot and kill an elk on sight, weather
it be legal or not. two hunters have
recently been cited for the attempted
kill of big games out of season, this
operation was a joint effort between
the natural resources rangers and the
police department fish and game
division and with some assistance
from the Oregon State Police Fish
and Wildlife. We will continue to do
this operations and others to detour
the illegal hunting. We have been
receiving comments and complaints
from the legal hunters that indicate
that illegal hunters are just making
things bad for all the rest who hunt
legally and with in traditions. These
comments are true, we are doing all
we can to stop these incidents from
happening. We need the assistance
of the legal hunters who feel the
same way, the more information that
we get on these crimes, the better our
chances of prosecuting them for the
crimes and hopefully the crimes will
stop.
If you have information on any
illegal hunting and you want to report
it, Please call and give all the
information you can. You do nat have
to identify yourself if you do not
wish to, but we do need all the
information we can get on the suspect.

Flu season is fast approaching.
Influenza (flu) is a highly infectious
viral illness which can last from two
to seven days. Symptoms include
fever, headache, non productive
cough, and sore, achy muscles. Flu
germs are spread through the air by
droplets from the respiratory tract of
infected person(s) and also by direct
contact
Patients with diabetes should
get a flu shot every Tall. Why? If
people with diabetes catch teh flu,
they are at greater risk of becoming
seriously ill because their immune
systems do not work as well as those
of non-diabetic patients. When you
Type of information we need is: date
and time of kill or observation, who
the hunters are, type of vehicle,
address, and type of animal killed,
also approximate location of the kill.
You can call Sgt. Oswald Tias at
553-3272 or 553-3273, all
information received will be held
confidential for the investigation.
Please help us put a stop to the illegal
hunting and waste of game.
Other incidents include calls of
overdue hunters and woodcutters,
with over 600,000 acres of land to
look in, the chance of finding them in
a short amount of time is not good
when we do not have the general area
where to look. It is important to have
the area information, as the person or
person's that we are looking for may
be injured and not able to make it
back. They may be stuck or have
mechanical problems. They just
simply may not be out there and in
town or at a friend's house. The fish
and game division is the first response
you will get out to those areas and we
will want to know a general area, the
hunters or woodcutters should make
a plan and stick to that plan as much
as possible and the most important,
tell someone where you will be at or
possibly be at.
We have been very fortunate to
find that the overdue hunters and
woodcutters have not been hurt or
been out there for very long with out
food or water. They have been in
good health when they return. We
have seven calls of this nature and
expect more, the weather is not
getting any better and we would like
to see that all hunters and woodcutters
follow our suggestions and take every
precaution to assure a safe return
home. We will repond as fast as
possible and we know that family
that is calling is very concerned about
their loved ones out there and we will
locate them as quickly as possible
with the information that we receive.
