Taiho Capoeman ’25 Places First in Video Contest
Taiho Capoeman Yellow Tie ’25 received two first place awards for his entry in Flower Hill Institute's Youth Forage Summit video contest. Taiho earned first place for "Gathering 8th Grade Category" as well as first in "Technical Champion 7-8th Grade Category."
Flower Hill is a Native-owned nonprofit aimed at preserving and enhancing cultural resources, preparing youth to inherit leadership, improving economic self-sufficiency, organizing inter-tribal movements, and improving climate change resiliency. In partnership with the Native American Agriculture Fund, Flower Hill Institute held a summer Youth Forage Summit for Native American students in Grades 7-12. Students learned all about food sovereignty initiatives and ways to forage traditional foods at the Youth Forage Summit. Native American agricultural experts led sessions that had a deeper dive into foraging practices found across the Nation.
Taiho's video, Wellness Sovereignty, can be seen here and includes his Green Tie ’23 sister Violette singing "Gathering Song" in the opening shot.
About the video: Taiho Capoeman, Quinault Teen Warrior, showcasing some of the pristine land of the Quinault people. The Quinault Indian Nation situated in the Pacific Northwest Peninsula of Washington holds more than 300,000 acres of lush habitat. The community in the village of Taholah come together to provide natural medicine, sustenance for meals and materials for their cultural way of life.
Congratulations, Taiho!
