Jackie's Story
Jackie’s Arapaho name is Te3oo Niibeisei, which means Singing Crane Woman. She always introduces herself first in Arapaho, and then in English. For her, the traditional greeting is just one way she’s celebrating, sharing and preserving her heritage–which she’s incredibly proud of.
Growing up, Jackie learned about the importance of food in her culture. As an adult, she has dedicated herself to ensuring her community always has access to food and is working with the Food Bank of Wyoming to set up food pantries for the Arapaho tribes that live on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.
While she knows there’s a long way to go, her passion is fueled every day with the knowledge that she’s not just providing sustenance or something to be taken for granted.

I Am Child Hunger in America
Hunger knows no boundaries. It impacts people from all walks of life – including children. More than 12 million – 1 in 6 – children in America don’t have enough to eat. While most people say they care about the issue of domestic hunger, far fewer take action. Hunger affects children in every community across the country, yet it can often be hard to recognize when a child is struggling with it. “I Am Child Hunger in America” juxtaposes technology with humanity to help people visualize the breadth of the issue and begin to question their own perceptions of hunger in America. The campaign combines real images of children facing hunger, USDA data and artificial intelligence to create a lifelike portrait that represents the stories of children facing hunger in our country.
