Kama Steliga

Kama Steliga (born 1967 in Kennewick, Washington, United States) is a Canadian activist and serves as the executive director of Lillooet Friendship Centre Society. It is an organization with the main focus of empowering Indigenous peoples in Canada through individual, family, and community programs and services.

Biography Steliga's work focuses on the small town of Lillooet in Canada. The project initially started as a project for women victims of trauma. After that further funding was acquired to continue the work and extend the support to other parts of the community. She is advocating against the cut of government support for homeless people in her hometown. Over 300 people rely on assistance of the food bank on a monthly basis, which is up to ten percent of the population of the whole town. The town suffers from a poor economy, racial tensions and lack of government support. Steliga and her organization are trying to address these issues by bringing together people of different ethnicities and shining a light on the issues striking the poorest, like HIV/AIDS.
