In our sixth episode, we continue our conversation with Julie Garreau, Chief Executive Officer, Cheyenne River Youth Project (CRYP), and a 2022 Community Food Systems Fellow. We learn more about CRYP's intentional approach to developing expansive programs that are centered on interconnected healing, including the WInyan Toka Win Garden, which was started by community elders — including Julie’s mother — and has since become the heart of the youth project’s Native food sovereignty initiative and a precious source of sustenance, healing, safety, and trust. Julie reflects on the inherent wisdom and self-sufficiency of communities, recognizing that “we have the answers, we have the solutions,” and speaks to the importance of changing how organizations do business so they are able to center healing and indigenous practices and strengthen pathways for future leaders.
