Three Sisters Stew includes corn, beans, and squash. We were happy to see the youth engaged in the cooking process and enjoying a yummy bowl of healthy indigenous veggies #UICAZ #CultureIsPrevention #CulturalWorkshop 💜

On March 3rd, the Phoenix Indian Center Prevention Team partnered with Laveen School District to host a food demonstration featuring Thalia Roessel. Families cooked side by side, supporting one another and working together to prepare a delicious Three Sisters Stew! 🍲

This presentation was followed by painting pots and adding purple pansy flowers! The prevention committee shared a meal with community youth, elders, and their family! It was a great event, and we are so happy attendees enjoyed themselves. #cultureisprevention #cleartheair #UICAZ

On January 29th, the F.I.N.A.L Prevention Committee hosted their first event Clear the Air: Planting Seeds of Prevention! The students did amazing work and informed community members about the health risks associated with marijuana and vape use. 😀
