Bertha Skye

Bertha Skye (; born 1932 on Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation) is a Cree Canadian chef, entrepreneur, and elder. In 1992, she competed in the Culinary Olympics, where her Three Sisters soup won gold. She has also served as an Elder-in-Residence at multiple post-secondary institutions in Ontario.

Early life Fraser was born in 1932 on Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation in Saskatchewan to a Cree mother and Métis father.

Growing up during the Great Depression, Fraser, along with most others in her community, experienced food insecurity. Because of this food insecurity, her parents moved off-reserve so they could grow their own vegetables. This decision benefited Fraser as she was not forced into residential schooling like other children on the reserve. The team won the competition with 11 medals, including a gold for Skye's Three Sisters soup. McMaster University, and Mohawk College. In this position, she guided administrators on implementing and improving Indigenous programs, as well as supporting Indigenous students.

Personal life Skye met her husband, Hubert Skye, while working in Moose Jaw, Ontario. Hubert taught at the residential school and secretly taught children the Cayuga language. Two years later, the couple permanently resettled in Six Nations of the Grand River, where they eventually raised their five children and helped care for their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
