Smoke Signals photo
reprint policy
See a photo you like in Smoke Signals?
Want a copy, or several copies?
Want to see if a photo that was taken but not printed in Smoke
Signals because of space limitations might be something you’d like
hanging on your living room wall?
Tribal members can order 8-by-10 inch copies of photos taken by
Smoke Signals staff members regardless of if they were published
in the newspaper. Charge is $1 for each print ordered. Reprint or-
ders must be pre-paid with a check made out to Smoke Signals. A
photo reprint order form is available in the Publications Office of
the Tribe’s Governance Building in Grand Ronde, or can be mailed
upon request. All photos contained in Smoke Signals’ current
archive are available for purchase, but people interested in going
through the archive must make an appointment to review photos
for possible purchase.
No rush orders will be permitted and requestors must allow 30
days for delivery. Requestors must be Tribal members.
In addition, reprint requestors must agree that the reprint is
for personal use only, and not for use in an ad, or for commercial,
political or promotional purposes.
Smoke Signals reserves the right to decline a reprint request. To
request a reprint order form, write to Smoke Signals at 9615 Grand
Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, OR 97347, or call Michelle Alaimo at 503-
879-1961 or 800-422-0232. n
