Chef Crystal Wahpepah at Native Women Lead Retreat 2025

Описание: Step into the kitchen with us as we reconnect with renowned chef and food sovereignty advocate, Crystal Wahpepah, at the Native Women Lead Wellness Retreat! 💖

We were honored to spend time with Crystal, a Kickapoo and Sac and Fox chef and the founder of Wahpepah's Kitchen, who is at the forefront of a movement to reclaim and revitalize Indigenous foodways. In this video, we share powerful moments from her time at the three-day retreat held at the Buffalo Thunder Resort in New Mexico, where over 150 Indigenous women gathered for healing, connection, and empowerment.

This isn't just about food; it's about food sovereignty—the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through sustainable methods. Crystal's work is a testament to the power of our ancestral knowledge and the resilience of our communities. She shows us that every meal can be an act of resistance, a celebration of heritage, and a path to a healthier future.

Join us in celebrating the incredible work of Native Women Lead and the inspiring leadership of women like Chef Crystal Wahpepah. Their vision is paving the way for the next seven generations.
