Traditional Foods Program

The Sitka people pride themselves on the amount of traditonal foods that they continue to eat today, despite a bountiful selection in our grocery stores. It is not only a matter of pride, but also of spirit. The connection of Tlingit people to Haa Aani (Our Land) can be shown since time immemorial.

The Traditional Foods Program collects and distributes food to any Tribal member who requests it. Preference is given to our elders and those who are unable to get out and harvest themselves. We provide a lot of halibut, salmon, and herring eggs to our Tribal Citizens through this program. We also provide other foods as they come available.
