Princess Caroline has invited Suzy and Stew Young, Tulalip speed ski champion and member of the newly forming Native American Olympic Ski Team (before his World Cup event in Austria) to her Ski and Music Festival in Veysonnaz, Switzerland Feb 11-19, 2005, sponsored by Credit Suisse. Caroline is a world renowned pianist, became Europe’s first royal advocate for the tribes after meeting Northern Ute Chairman Roland McCook in Aspen in 1999. Prince Albert, a Champion of the Tribes on the IOC, is a Lakota adoptee like his great great Grandfather, Albert 1. After hunting with the Lakotas in Wyoming with Buffalo Bill Show, he met Sitting Bull, and was inspired to found the Oceanographic Institute.
