For hundreds of years, the Native American Tribes residing in the Siletz River watershed caught and smoked salmon.  These fish were eaten fresh, traded, and most importantly, smoke-dried for winter use.  

Each year the arrival of the salmon run was marked with special ceremonies and rituals to honor the salmon and respectfully request their return in subsequent years.  Because of the salmon's importance to Tribal society, artwork, stories, and teachings were often oriented around salmon.

In the spirit of honoring the heritage and traditions of the Native ancestors, The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, in partnership with Oregon Smoked Foods, Inc. offers Siletz Tribal Smokehouse Smoked Salmon.  This salmon is wild, non-endangered Pacific salmon.  No preservatives, artificial flavors, or colorants added.  All products are shelf-stable and require refrigeration only after opening.

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon have their tribal offices in Siletz Oregon.  They also own the beautiful Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, Oregon.  Their tribal members span throughout Oregon and beyond now; however, there is still a large and proud population of Siletz Indians located on the beautiful Oregon Coast.  Oregon Smoked Foods, Inc. is proud to be a partner and supporter of the Siletz Tribal people.  While some companies use the Indian persona strictly as a marketing look, the Siletz Tribe receives a portion of all sales of Siletz Tribal Smokehouse brand products for their tribal members and economic development.  When you buy these products you will know that you are supporting a great heritage of people, and their secret of the magical qualities of salmon are shared with you.
