What Is A Tetla? The tetla is like a new kind of currency for a new economy. It is being used by a social movement that has already built a new economy in the midst of the old. It is an economy focused on local community, inspired by ancient traditions of the Coast Salish people and implemented using innovative economic ideas we developed while doing this project.
