Food is a blessing, gratefully and respectfully gathered and prepared, given and received with just as much gratification and respect. - Coast Salish core value of food

Food is the essence of culture, from the collection, to the preparation, to the serving and then the eating of food; it is what makes us who we are. It binds us to our families, our community, our history, our identity, and our home.

Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe--yəhúməct Traditional Foods and Culture Program
yəhúməct Traditional Foods Project involves three inter-connecting focus areas which are based upon S’Klallam culture and traditions; healthy eating, physical activity, and seasonal cultural practices. Using a Village model, we are bringing groups together to learn about harvesting and processing land and sea foods, and plants, bark, and roots with cultural and medicinal uses.
