S moke S ignals APRIL 15, 2019 Fund seeking Hatfield Fellowship applicants Applications for the 2019-20 Hatfield Fellowship program are being accepted through Tuesday, April 30. The fellowship program is funded by Spirit Mountain Community Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Con- federated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Each year, Spirit Mountain Community Fund sponsors a Native American to serve as the Hatfield Fellow and intern in a congressional office. Placement of the Fellow rotates through the Oregon congressional delegation to enhance the mutual understanding between leadership in Washington, D.C., and Indian Country. Fellows are given an opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of how to navigate the political process in Washington while working on issues that directly affect Native Americans. The Hatfield Fellow will begin his or her Capitol Hill experience in November 2019 with a month-long orientation at the American Political Science Association followed by an eight-month term in an Oregon con- gressional office. The fellowship includes a monthly stipend, and relocation and travel expenses. The opportunity is extended to Tribal members from the nine federal- ly recognized Tribes of Oregon, as well as members of Tribes in Idaho, Washington, and Montana. Preference will be given to members of Ore- gon Tribes. Applicants must have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree (or graduating in June 2019) and be at least 21 to apply. The Hatfield Fellowship was created in 1998 to honor Senator Mark Hatfield’s public service to Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
