HD Resident Services friendly reminders:
Tenants please be respectful to your neighbor as they have a right to peaceful enjoyment as well.
It’s a HUD requirement to report all extended guests in your unit to HD, if you do not that’s out of compliance.
Please report/update all income to HD during recertification process; ones receiving Social Security need to provide
updated reward letter current to that day or month reported (thank you).
Please report to Animal Control and make sure your pet is registered, show copies of vaccinations for parvo and/or ra-
bies shots. If you do not it is a lease violation and a safety and health hazard.
Wintertime check list; keep a constant thermostat 70, coil up water hoses, we’ll cover spigot, keep air-flow in sinks
with doors open.
Please keep all your rental areas clean of deer/elk carcasses, hides, horns, hooves as they bring even more pests to the
area.
Also no tarps blocking car port, no debris/rubbish, blocking front/back door for emergency access, no wood pile
against walls.
Please do not use neighbors trash bin as that’s not yours to utilize, thank you.
Please report any suspicious activity in any housing areas to UTPD: 541-278-0550.

HUD requirement. Inchii-Qwuthla! Ee aw!

November is Native American Heritage Month:
It’s important to remember the native people of our area known today as the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. They’ve been here
since time immemorial before the town of Pendleton, even the USA the
people from this land are still referred to as:
‘Wallulapum,’ ‘Imatallampum’ and ‘Wailatpuu’ or today the Walla-Wallas,
Umatillas and Cayuse people of Nixyaawii.
The strong and proud horse experts roamed freely all over the countryside,
also known as master fisherman, hunters, travelers, warrior people living
100% off the land: they’d hunt buffalo, deer, elk, dig assorted roots, pick
assorted berries, catch all kinds of fish mainly Salmon.
They traveled all over but not limited to: the Dakotas, Canada, California
and up & down the western coast. But it’s recorded too by some of the fam-
ily stories told of a time of traveling on horseback witnessed the big falls of Niagara, learned about the first Europeans on the eastern coast; even
the swampy hot areas of Florida; even seeing big giant cats aka tigers even in Central America.
Our Tribal Nation had their own economy or trading routes, one of the biggest ones in the PNW was the roaring thunder misty fishing site of
atway Celilo Falls. It was there many tribal nations came to trade with the local Natives for only the best Salmon to trade with near and afar
tribes; along for tools, supplies, weapons, even horses, they would even bet and race horses; play stick games(guessing game) social dances &
dinners. They practiced their first religion which was just an everyday part of life called ‘Waashat’ the dreamer faith they’d pray for Mother
nature and be thankful for what we have and for the ones yet to come.
So now you have a better understanding of the still ever so proud Indigenous people of CTUIR aka the ’Natitayt’’Tanun’’Titookin’’Tiinma’ that
still practice, pray, sing, hunt, dig, fish and live on the land like all the ones before them.

Credit Reports: When Was the Last Time You
Reviewed Yours? It’s recommended you review your credit reports annually from each of the three (3) credit reporting agencies; Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax. You want to make sure the information is accurate and that credit hasn’t been issued to you without your knowledge; that’s called Identity Theft.
As part of the Fair Credit Report Act (FCTA), you are all entitle to get a FREE copy of your credit re-
port from each of the three (3) credit reporting agencies once a year. You won’t get your score but
you’ll get to see a full report. Go to www.annualcreditreport.com to down your report today.
If you find information on the report that’s incorrect, you can dispute the information online to get it cor-
rected. If your report lists open credit cards or loans that are not yours, you might be a victim of identity
theft. You need to contact the creditor to close the account ASAP; let the credit reporting agency know
the account is not yours and file a statement with Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.org).
Information is power so the more you know the better you can
protect yourself.
