Grants Developer Bob McElderry attended this year's National Tribal
Self-Governance Conference in Nashville, Tennessee in mid-October.
Tribal leaders and Tribal representatives from across the nation attended
this year's conference. "The most important thing to come out of this
government-to-government conference was the pass
ing of permanent legislation
for the self-governance of In
dian Tribes," said Haller.
"Public Law 106-260, which
was passed at the conference,
I Jl y I insures that Tribes will for-

Wyden Creates Oregon's First
Online Food Distribution Network
U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore)
announced that he had secured
$167,000 in the Fiscal Year (FY)
2001 Agriculture Appropriations
Conference Report to fund "Food Ef
fectively and Electronically Distrib
uted" (FEED), the first online food
distribution network in the nation.
"We have a situation where crops
are rotting in the field while Orego
nians are going hungry, and
something's got to be done," Wyden
said. "By linking food producers with
distributors and food banks, FEED
will get more food to more people.
When it comes to feeding the hun
gry, we have nowhere to go but up,
and it's time to get started."
Wyden advised the idea of FEED,
his initiative to combat hunger in Or
egon, as a new way to improve trans
portation of donated food and crops to
people in need. In its most recent re
port on the state of food security in the
25th Annual
American Indian
Film Festival
Nov. 9-16 San Francisco
Dedicated to preserving the vision of
American Indian film makers in both the
U.S. and Canada, and providing a show
case for new emerging film makers; the
Festival was founded in 1975 and is the
oldest and most prestigious festival of its
kind worldwide.

United States, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) found that Or
egon had the highest percentage of
hungry people in the entire nation.
FEED will serve as an electronic
clearinghouse of information for any
one interested in increasing food ac
cess by linking food producers, trans
portation and distribution services
and food banks. The FEED Web site,
which will be funded through Oregon
State University's Extension Service,
will be administered by the Oregon
Food Bank. The Food Bank will de
velop FEED in partnership the Or
egon Truckers Association, Dial-A-Truck
(DAT) transportation services,
the Oregon Extension Service and
the Oregon Farm Bureau.
The FY 2001 Agriculture Appro
priations Conference Report now
