Tetlas in the Times Colonist Newspaper



An article on Tetlas ran in the Times Colonist newspaper on April 17, 2013. It was on the front page of the business section.

Here it is:

Please note that despite what it says in the link, Tetlas are NOT issued by or endorsed by the Esquimalt First Nation. Tetlas were briefly discussed with Chief Andy Thomas last year, but Meaghan Champion, the founder of the Tetla Tsetsuwatil, is from the Somena Nation, not the Esquimalt Nation. The confusion may arise from the fact that she currently lives in Esquimalt. The Somena Nation is often considered one of the Cowichan Tribes.
