Me, Hubert, and the Gov

Now I am not just posting photographs because I have nothing to say. This particular occasion was very special. When Governor Kulongoski visited back on May 11, he was lucky enough to meet both Nora Kimsey and Hubert Mercier, the Tribe's two oldest members. Hubert made a vivid impression on him. When the Governor visited again on August 2, 2007 in order to sign our Tribal/State Hunting & Fishing Proclamation, Kulongoski asked if he could visit Hubert again, this time for a photo. Hubert felt very honored.

I understand this proclamation will allow us to hunt deer, elk and other game for our celebrations; it would be wonderful to be able to serve elk or venison at Restoration for example.

Chris,

This is such a great picture, and one that should be treasured for many years to come.

Also - Congratulations on the work you did in regards to the signing of the Tribal/State Hunting & Fishing Proclamation.
