Leonard Peltier’s Healing Meal

 

Walking a healthy path means navigating change, sometimes in unexpected directions. My journey has been filled with doubts, missteps, and uncertainty, yet each challenge has shaped my growth. Though imperfect, my road is mine, and I am proud of where it has led me.

As I embark on my next food campaign, I see my path aligning with service and healing.

I have been invited to cook a private dinner for Leonard Peltier and his family. An honor I never expected. This “healing meal” will reflect his journey and the new one he now begins. Through food and storytelling, it will embody resilience, understanding, and the lessons carried forward through time.

Each course will carry meaning, honoring the four directions in a Native way. It is my privilege to prepare this meal with care, respect, and love.

Kathy Peltier and her mother, Anne Begay, whom I’ve known since 2005, invited me into this sacred moment. I am honored to nourish Leonard when the time is right.

This moment feels historic, and I pray this meal brings not just sustenance but healing. I look forward to preparing it with gratitude, knowing my food will uplift those who receive it.

Welcome Home Leonard Peltier.

My Partnership with Anne Mulaire

I am deeply grateful to be part of Anne Mulaire fashion company. Our journey together began when Anne reached out to me over Instagram, recognizing something in my heart that resonated with her vision. That connection led to a powerful collaboration, introducing my Indigenous Legacy Feather designs as part of an incredible collection for National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, 2023.

As one of the first guest artists from the United States to collaborate with Anne Mulaire, I wasn’t sure how my art would be received. But when we debuted my feather designs, the response was so supportive. The artistic expression behind the feathers, along with the message we conveyed, resonated with people. To further honor and extend that message, Anne Mulaire created beautiful greeting cards featuring my designs, expressing gratitude for the artwork and the cultural significance behind it.

I am honored and proud to be part of Anne Mulaire’s journey and the legacy of meaningful, sustainable fashion. This company’s commitment to health, wellness, and environmental responsibility is inspiring. Their products are more than clothing. They are statements of care, respect, and purpose.

Thank you Anne Mulaire, for welcoming me into your family. I look forward to creating more designs and contributing to this beautiful movement in the years to come.

“Beautiful. Sustainable. Zero Waste. Buy better, buy less.

The natural fabrics used in Anne Mulaire’s clothing are grown without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers…EVER!”

Also, I’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to @jodi_bnsn24 Chief of Sustainability and Climate Justice, researcher, storyteller, mountaineer, and ice climber.

“Since 2019, you’ve been driving the Anne Mulaire sustainability bus to greener pastures”, and I’m so grateful for your dedication. Thank you for being such a huge supporter of my work. Hugs and Love to you my friend!
