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 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 are permitted and requestors must allow 30 days for
delivery. Requestors must be Tribal members. In addition, reprint re-
questors 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
