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.

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.

[1] The center includes an employment centre, a food bank, a thrift store, addiction counseling and other related services, a homelessness initiative, information and support related to violence against women, efforts to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and cross-cultural bridge-building events.

Steliga sees her work in raising HIV/AIDS awareness as very important as her husband is HIV positive and one of the longest-living survivors of the Canadian Red Cross tainted blood scandal after receiving a transfusion with tainted blood from the Red Cross.
