These opportunities take
hunting pressure off the Res-

is the hunter’s responsibility
to know where they are hunt-
ing, where they are allowed
to hunt, what weapons they
are allowed to use, and what
the bag limit is.

ment at 541-553-2001.

Ceded land hunting is des-

public (unclaimed) lands.
Illegally harvesting wildlife
on the Reservation using
ceded land tags or harvest-
ing the wrong sex can have
great long-term negative im-
pacts to the tribes’ wildlife
populations.
Overharvesting wildlife
and illegally harvesting fe-
males reduces wildlife popu-
lation numbers for multiple
generations.
Please help protect the
Confederated Tribes wildlife
resources by reporting poach-
ing violations to 541-553-
2033 or 541-553-1171.
Reporting
Each tribal hunter may
possess two tags for each
hunt at a time (except for
pronghorn) and may be issued
There is mandatory re-
porting of all hunter har-
vest.
Failure to report harvest
results for ceded land and
reservation hunts will result
in a loss of hunting privileges
for subsequent tags.
Please be honest with your
hunter reporting. If you are
issued a tag, you have the
right to hunt and harvest an
animal.
Harvest and hunting in-
formation is important for
the tribal Wildlife Depart-
ment in determining wildlife
population sizes, herd com-
positions and hunting pres-
sure.
In addition, this informa-
tion helps us determine where
there are and are not animals,
which helps focus our habi-
tat restoration efforts on the
Reservation.
Your continued support
and participation with hunter
reporting is greatly appreci-
ated. Thank you for your par-
ticipation!

Columbia River Treaty be-
tween Canada and the U.S.
will help integrate ecosystem
function as a co-equal Treaty
objective in these negotiations.
Their efforts include devel-
opment of white papers, for-
mal and informal meetings,
and documentation of tradi-
tional knowledge.
“The tribes and first na-
tions have elevated the dia-
log as it relates to indigenous
peoples’ cultural, harvest, and
spiritual values, many of
which were lost with river
development for power and
flood management,” said
American Fisheries Society
president Donna Parrish.

American Fisheries Society is
the world’s oldest and largest
