Smoke Signals offering
e-mail version to read
Want to be one of the first Tribal members to receive Smoke Signals?
Want to receive the Tribal publication on your computer instead of
waiting for it to arrive in the mail?
Want to get up-to-date and in-the-know about the Grand Ronde Tribe?
Well, here’s your chance.
In an effort to be more efficient and reduce costs, Smoke Signals sub-
scribers can have a PDF (portable document format) version sent to them
instead of a newsprint version sent via the mail. All you need on your
computer is Adobe Acrobat or some other program that can read a PDF
and, viola, you’re set.
Why would you want to do that? The PDF version is available before the
newspaper is even sent to our Salem printing contractor. You can read the
paper on your computer or print out a copy yourself. And you will receive
Tribal news much faster than the current standard mailing employed by
the Tribe.
If you would like to receive an e-mailed PDF version of Smoke Signals
and stop receiving a mailed newsprint version, send your e-mail to esub-
scription@grandronde.org.

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 orders must be pre-paid with a check made out to Smoke Sig-
nals. 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 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.
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-
