2021 Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation Scholarship

Eirene Hamilton from Bluff, Utah had a one-week long residency at Willowtail.  She is a writer, ethnobotanist, environmental activist and language educator. During her stay, she read several poems for the staff and visiting guests. Her performance was very moving, thought provoking and beautiful. Some of the gathering felt it a powerful call to action coming from a very deep and legitimate place of anguish for her people.
