The Future of Traditional Foods The Siletz traditional foods program, Healthy Traditions, is a community-lead program coordinating food education activities through our offices in Siletz, Eugene, Salem and Portland. We are looking to build on our accomplishments and will be hosting community meetings to learn more about the needs of our tribal community. Your ideas, suggestions and guidance will be vital as we seek grants and other opportunities to continue our traditional food culture. Join us to share stories, ideas, a meal and maybe even win a prize! Some recent ideas include: establishing protected gathering sites, community food canning events, start a tribal farm, start tribal food business, publish a tribal food book, communal hunting and fishing events, and more!
