Help collect biological samples from deer and elk and your name will be
entered into a drawing for six gift cards.
3 prizes for deer: $125 gift card to Cabela's
3 prizes for elk: $125 gift card to Cabela's
Why: The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Natural Resources Divi
sion, in cooperation with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and USDA
Veterinary Services, is collecting biological samples from deer and elk to learn
more about diseases that may be affecting our deer and elk herds. The Tribe
will test for a variety of diseases primary among these are the following:
Chronic Wasting Disease has not been detected in Oregon. We want
to catch this disease early if it shows up in Oregon as it can have devas
tating effects on deer and elk populations.
Adenovirus Hemorrhagic Disease has been detected throughout Or
egon. Samples will help determine where adenovirus is found in Oregon.
How to participate:
Allow the Tribe's biologists to collect samples of brain stems, lymph nodes
and tooth samples from elk and samples of blood, brain stems, lymph nodes,
muscle tissue and tooth samples from deer.
All samples must be collected within 48 hours of death, 24 hours preferred.
Bring hunter-harvested animals to the Tribe's Natural Resources office at
47010 S.W. Hebo Road, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m to 4:30 p.m.
After hours or on the weekend call 503-560-4426.
If you are unable to bring an animal in we may be able to come to you to collect
samples. Please contact the Tribe's biologists for more information.
Hunters will need to provide the general location (within a mile) of where
the animal was killed (to be used in the event that a disease is found).
Your name will be entered in the drawing for each useable sample we are able
to collect, up to three entries for each deer and up to two for each elk.
Fresh road-kills can be reported to the Tribe's biologists so we can pick them
up for sampling. Your name would then be entered for any useable samples
we collect from the road kill.
Tribal and nonTribal community members are eligible to participate.
Animals must be harvested legally. ,
Drawing will be held at the April 2011 Fish and Wildlife Committee meet
ing at the Natural Resources office. Prizes are sponsored by the Confederated
Tribes of Grand Ronde Fish and Wildlife Committee.
The Fish and Wildlife Committee and Natural Resources Division thank
you for your help in gathering information to help us maintain our deer and
elk populations. Happy hunting!

Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Tribal Court
Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program
Wawa pus tenas
"Speaking for ChildrenYouth"
Each year, approximately 780,000 children in the U.S. are caught in the
court and child welfare maze because they are unable to live safely at home.
Approximately 13,965 children in the state of Oregon have been in foster care
at least once during the past year. Currently, there are approximately 87
Grand Ronde children in foster care. Half of those children are wards of the
Tribal Court right here in the Grand Ronde Community. The Grand Ronde
Tribal Court is looking for committed, caring volunteers who want to help these
children by advocating for the child. The Tribal Court CASA Program will
train all volunteer advocates. Give these children a voice during this difficult
time, help these children to receive the services they need, stay connected to
their culture and find safe permanent homes.
If you would like more information on how to volunteer and better serve our Tribal Children, please
detach and complete this form and return it to: Tribal Court Programs Specialist, 9615 Grand
Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, Oregon 97347. For additional Information, call 503-879-4623 or e-mail:
