Siletz Tribal member James Anello is a member of the David Douglas Soci- ety (DDS) and holds a dual bachelor’s of science in anthropology/sociology with a minor in history. He first became interested in the plants used by our ancestors by reading articles in Siletz News and other Tribal newsletters. DDS members participate in the “Botanist in a Box” program, going to elementary schools to teach about bot- any, David Douglas and Native plants. The Portland Area Office provided some of the plant specimens used in his exhibit from our Lori Johnson Memo- rial Learning Garden.

Honoring Our Children By Honoring Our Traditions The curriculum is designed to provide a brief, practical and culturally specific training program for Native families. Promoting the growth and well-being of the Indian child through positive parenting, which is cul- turally inspired, is the underlying message to parents. The first goal is to help parents explore the values and attitudes expressed in traditional Indian child-rearing practices and then apply those values to modern parenting skills. The second goal is to help parents develop positive and satisfying attitudes, values and skills that have roots in their cultural heritage.
