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 American
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 understanding
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. Howev-
er, 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.

The fellowship was created in 1998 to honor the late Sen. Mark Hatoeld9s
public service to Oregon and the Pacioc Northwest. þ
You are invited to Foundational Yoga
At the Community Programs Building <Building Q=
Yoga is a low-impact exercise and has been shown to lower
stress hormones in our bodies and increases the production
of endorphins . Yoga can be used as a tool to help you be
more reflective and calm which helps you positively manage
stress.
We will explore breathing
techniques, mindfulness
exercises and provide an
introduction to basic yoga poses.
Each attendee will receive a yoga
mat, a fitness kit, and will be entered
into the gift card drawing.
If you would like a zoom link, email:
CTGRTribalVSO@GrandRonde.Org
(Due to the size of the yoga mat, they cannot be
mailed and must be picked up at the Veterans
Service Office).
My name is Diana Robertson. I started
practicing yoga in 2018 and it has been
one of my strongest tools to healing. I9ve
been teaching yoga since January 2021.
My focus is foundational yoga. The core of
my teaching is to offer the fundamentals
of yoga to allow your body, mind and
spirit to heal and align naturally. Anyone
can learn this practice. It9s simple and the
healing benefits are so rewarding. I am
excited to be able to bring this to our
community
and
look
forward
to
connecting with others who want to learn
about yoga.
