JUST END IT!!
Tobacco Prevention restores connection
to Sacred Tobacco
The Siletz Tribal Tobacco Prevention Program is excited to
announce that thanks to the participation of the Siletz Tribal
Membership and the Siletz Farm Program, we have managed to
reestablish our cultural connection to Sacred Tobacco. For the first
time in over 200 years, our Tribal people have access to a sustain-
able source of Columbian Tobacco (Nicotiana Quadrivalvis var.
Multivalvis). This is the same variety of tobacco that was grown by
our people all over the homelands.
The intent of our program is to provide the members the
opportunity to use the sacred tobacco for ceremony, traditional
practices, and personally held cultural beliefs. Supplies may be
limited depending on availability, currently restricting requests to
tribal members 21 years and older. The form will be added to the
Members portal of the Tribal website soon. For more information
