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 orders 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 avail-
able for purchase, but people interested in going through the archive
must make an appointment to review photos for possible purchase.
No rush orders are 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.

Request for Proposals
This Request for Proposals (RFP) is being conducted by Housing
for the purpose of obtaining a list of potential bidders who have the
experience and qualifications to conduct housing needs assessment
surveys. Responses are due March 16, 2015.
Housing's mission is to provide affordable housing to the member-
ship of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde (CTGR). Housing
is required to obtain updated data on the housing needs of Tribal
members, and to meet the requirements under the Native American

and contracts will be required to comply with, including but not
limited to, the federal requirements set forth in NAHASDA and
a proposed Service Agreement Rider. Housing recognizes Native
American and Tribal preferences. Any responses submitted by an
Indian Owned Business (IOB) within five percent (5%) of the highest
scoring proposal will be awarded TERO preference in accordance
with the TERO Ordinance. All IOBs must be certified by the CTGR
TERO Office.
Housing reserves the right to reject any and all responses for good
cause, if it is determined in the public interest to do so, and may
waive any informality in the qualification process. Respondents to
this RFP will be mailed a bid packet and those responses will be
used to qualify applicants for interviews. Applicants wishing to be
considered must request a bid packet as provided by Housing and
respond to the requirements put forth therein.
Responses must be received by 3 p.m. prevailing time, March
