The Future of Healthy Traditions Programming is Continued! Thank you, to our Tribal Council! The Siletz traditional foods program, Healthy Traditions, is a community-lead program coordinating food education activities through our Area Offices in Siletz, Eugene, Salem and Portland. It was through your participation in the community meetings at each Area Office that Tribal Council could see, your ideas, and suggestions for programming needs. Your guidance is vital as we provide opportunities to continue our traditional food culture. Please visit your Area Office to join the fun, and educational activities they provide. Some ideas members included: establishing protected gathering sites, food canning events, cooking classes, start a tribal farm, start tribal food business, publish a tribal food book, communal hunting and fishing events, and more!
