This article outlines economic development among the Stó:lō people of British Columbia. Contemporary community development is described within the context of the “triple bottom line” of cultural, environmental, and economic health. Influences on historical Stó:lō population, cultural, and wealth declines after European contact are reviewed. Sources and processes for more recent revitalization of Stó:lō culture, identity, economics and other elements of community are examined.
