Today we were joined by Inyan Eagle Elk, Indigenous Chef. He will be working and teaching our native wellness, sustainable agriculture, and indigenous cooking interns. Chef Inyan will be with CRYP for the next 3 days. Here are A few pictures of today’s exciting class. The interns will be learning to cook with buffalo, chicken, squash, and other foods that are good for us.
We were devastated when we had to cancel Passion for Fashion last year. So, when we learned that our five area high schools were planning to host prom this spring, we knew we had to bring it back... somehow! And we did. We're so happy we could be here for our kids. Philámayeye to all the individual donors and the wonderful students at Fairview High School in Boulder, Colorado, who helped to make this possible!![]()
