Today's harvest from our courtyard garden!
Vegetables are full of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that provide many important health benefits for your body. Vegetables are a good source of dietary fiber, a type of carbohydrate that helps food pass through your digestive system.
Remember, we have Eastern Market's Farm Stand come here every Thursday to sell fresh fruits and vegetables. See the flier for more details.

Last week we held an Indian Taco fundraiser and a Tipi raising as part of our series, Cultural Craft Night. Thank you to everyone that attended! We raised 403 dollars for our Youth Program, Women’s Society, Men’s Society, Tribal Home Visiting and New Facility Construction. There was excitement and anticipation in the air for the people that came to watch and help the tipi to be raised! Prior to that, lots of tacos were eaten!
We admire the Plains Natives who put up and take down a tipi with ease. Back in the day, the materials and prep work were not easy tasks. Living in, as well as, traveling with a tipi makes an RV camping trip look like a piece of cake. As an Urban Indian Clinic, we simply ordered it and had it delivered on a freight truck. The hard work was putting it up. The community members who requested this activity were the inspiration to look up the purpose and ceremony of the dwelling.
Special thank you to the following staff that helped out that day: Shelly Nimocks-Hinshaw, Salli Wabsis, Crystal LeCoy, Kimberly Copeland, Patrick Mayfield, and Ricardo Trevino.
