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!
