MISSION â On a frigid February morning, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation held its twice-monthly food distribution. With sheets of snow blanketing the ground from a recent snowstorm, members of the reservation worked hand-in-hand with distribution drivers from The Wave Foundation, a Portland nonprofit sustainability coalition that helps provide communities like the reservation with healthy and sustainable food options during the pandemic.

MISSION â In an unprecedented move, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation is opening up its next COVID-19 vaccine clinic to all Umatilla County residents.
According to a Tuesday, April 6, announcement, the CTUIR is expanding eligibility for its Monday, April 12, and Tuesday, April 13, clinics at the Wildhorse Resort & Casino to all county residents 16 and older.
The tribes have enough doses to vaccinate 1,755 people, but the CTUIR had initially targeted tribal members, tribal employees, non-tribal reservation residents, Blue Mountain Community College students and staff, local school district students and staff, restaurant workers and grocery store workers for its April 12-13 clinics. The CTUIR has made an effort to vaccinate non-tribal employees since February, but this is the first time the tribes have made county residency the only requirement.
