Tribal Land Enhancement Activities
The Natural Resources, Culture department and Healthy
Traditions program are working together to establish local
gathering sites for harvesting important traditional foods in the
future. We will be transplanting camas, cutting trails to
huckleberry patches and transplanting some basketry materials
as we head into fall.
Some of this work will utilize summer youth and introduce them
to plants that are good to harvest to eat.

Siletz Tribal Community Garden
We are under construction.
We are hiring a contractor soon to help make the garden easier to
maintain and access. There will be handicapped accessible areas
and new raised beds that provide a seat to comfortably and safely
reach across your garden space.
Mission Statement
The CTSI Healthy Traditions project
seeks to improve the health of
Siletz Tribal Members through
educational activities which promote
the use of traditional foods
through hunting, gathering,
gardening, cooking, food preservation
and protecting our natural resources.
