these particular people make it bad
for everybody else who are trying to
comply with our tribal law. It is bad
enough that we have to have hunting
regulations and seasons here, but it is
worse when people poach an animal
and leave a large amount of meat that
is going to waste and just take what
they want such as antlers, teeth and
certain parts of the animal.
Hunters: Elk season is just
around the corner and begins Novem
ber 1, 2000. Every hunter must dis
play their tag upon request of a law
enforcement officer. If should you
bag or take an animal you are required
to tag the animal immediately there
after. If you should violate the law
while hunting the enforcement
officer(s) can and will most likely
seize all property used in commission
of the crime such as the following but
not limited to: rifles, pistols, knives,
vehicles, ATV's and animals.
Dress for the appropriate weather
while you are hunting. Always carry
a pack or something that will assist
you if you should get into trouble such
as matches. A small fire can keep you
warm and dry. If you should get lost
or turned around from your hunting
party, always keep in mind that you
should find a commonly used road

During the next eight months, the
master artists will be passing on the
traditional skills and knowledge they
attained through years of observation,
practice, and careful study. Appren
tices are not expected to perfect the
art form during this time, but to dem
onstrate a concerted effort to improve
their skills as well as a commitment
to continuing beyond the apprentice
ship period.
The master artists this year in
clude an 86-year-old "horse
whisperer", a 77-year-old Warm
Springs basketweaver and commu
nity elder, one of the only active
basketweavers in the Siletz commu
nity, an internationally acclaimed Ira
nian musician and composer, among
others who are recognized as masters
by their communities and the selec
tion panel for this year's program.
The participants in this program
share a commitment teaching or
learning the cultural traditions of their
communities and carrying them for
ward into the future. "These artists are
proof that, even in our modern soci
ety, there is a place for traditional
knowledge, and that it continues to
be a living, vital part of many com
munities and cultures," says program
coordinator Leila Childs. "The
knowledge these artists hold is not
found in schools or libraries. It is part
of a lineage of expression that comes
from the past and has its roots in com
munity. This program's goal is to sup
port the teaching and sharing of this
traditional knowledge, and to publicly
acknowledge the teachers and learn
ers of these traditions for their role in
their communities and in the state."
