Hunters Education Field Day
The Natural Resources Department9s Parks and Recreation pro-
gram is coordinating a Hunters Education Field Day on Saturday,
April 22, at the Natural Resources ofoce, 47010 S.W. Hebo Road.
Registration for the class must be accomplished online at the Or-
egon Department of Fish and Wildlife website. There is a $10 per
student fee.
The class is open to both Tribal and nonTribal members ages 9 to
17 by the beginning of the 2023 hunting season. The class is only
the oeld day and students must have attended either a conventional
course or an online course before the oeld day. There are limited spots
for the oeld day, so if interested, sign up as soon possible.
In Oregon all youth hunters age 17 years and younger must pass
a certioed hunter education class before hunting unless they are
participating in the Mentor Youth Hunter Program (youth age 9 to
14 eligible).
The minimum age to hunt big game is 12 (at the time of the hunt)
and hunters age 13 and younger must be accompanied by an adult
21 years of age or older when hunting (unless on land owned by
parent or legal guardian).
Hunter Education can be completed with a conventional classroom
course or online course with a hands-on oeld day.
Class size is limited in all of these courses. Students must attend
all sessions of the course they sign up for.

Community Fund seeking
Hatfield Fellow applicants
Applications for the 2023-24 Hatoeld Fellowship program funded by
Spirit Mountain Community Fund are being accepted through May 31.
Spirit Mountain Community Fund annually sponsors a Native Ameri-
can to serve as the Hatoeld Fellow and intern in an Oregon congressional
ofoce. Placement of the fellow rotates through the Oregon delegation to
enhance mutual understanding between leadership in Washington, D.C.,
and Indian Country.
Fellows are provided an opportunity to gain knowledge and understand-
ing of how to navigate the political process in Washington, D.C., while
working on issues that affect Native Americans.
Fellows begin their Capitol Hill experience in November with a month-
long orientation at the American Political Science Association, which is
followed by an eight-month term working in a congressional ofoce. The
fellowship includes a monthly stipend and relocation and travel expenses.
The fellowship is for Tribal members from the nine federally recognized
Tribes in Oregon, as well as members of Pacioc Northwest Tribes. However,
preference will be given to members of Oregon Tribes. Applicants must
have a bachelor9s degree or be graduating in June 2023, and be 21 or older.
For more information, visit thecommunityfund.com/grants-programs/

tional video about the Hatoeld Fellowship.
The fellowship was created in 1998 to honor the late Sen. Mark Hatoeld9s
public service to Oregon and the Pacioc Northwest. þ
