The class is only the oeld day and students must have attended either a conventional course or an online course before the oeld day.

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. All students must register online at https://myodfw.com/articles/ how-register-hunter-and-bowhunter-education-oeld-days-and-out- door-skills-events.

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.
