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.
Titled: “Land and
Sky Unite” The hatchet symbolizes time being chipped away, as Mother Corn
nourishes us in times of need. As we smudge away negativity, we invite the
eagle to carry our spirits into a new realm of sustenance.
Welcome Home
Leonard Peltier.
