Economic Development
The Siska Band has undertaken to develop a line of natural ethnobotany products based on traditional food and medicinal plants, as an alternative to logging and other resource extraction uses on their traditional territory.
this initiative takes place under Siska Traditions Society, a non-profit community driven organization focusing on linking culture, language and community economic diversity. For more information visit the website www.siskatraditions.org
