ABOUT WINONA LADUKE: UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA’S PRESIDENTIAL LECTURE SERIES

Winona LaDuke is a rural development economist and author working on issues of Indigenous Economics, Food and Energy Policy. She lives and works on the White Earth reservation in northern Minnesota, and is the Executive Director of Honor the Earth (HtE). She co-founded HtE with the Indigo Girls, as a platform to raise awareness of and money for indigenous struggles for environmental justice. She works nationally and internationally on the issues of climate change, renewable energy, and environmental justice alongside Indigenous communities. In her own community, she is the founder of the White Earth Land Recovery Project, Anishinaabe Agriculture Institute, and Akiing: 8th Fire Project. She also runs Winona’s Hemp and Heritage Farm. Globally and nationally, Winona is known as a leader in the issues of cultural-based sustainable development strategies, renewable energy, and sustainable food systems. She is one of the leaders in the work of protecting Indigenous plants and heritage foods from patenting and genetic engineering.

LaDuke’s work on food systems includes; the creation of Native Harvest, protection of wild rice (manoomin), and the promotion of food sovereignty for reservation communities. On her farm in northern Minnesota, she grows traditional varieties of corn, beans, squash, Jerusalem artichokes, melons, herbs, and tobacco. This work is documented, in part, in the book Food is Medicine, available from Honor the Earth. Work on the restoration of traditional corn varieties has received significant support from the USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education, and a number of private foundations. In 2015 -2016, LaDuke and Honor the Earth completed a Mille Lacs Band Tribal Food Plan including policy and implementation plans for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.

LaDuke’s work in renewable energy includes the completion of the White Earth Tribal Energy Plan and support for the installation of solar and wind energy systems on the White Earth reservation. Akiing and Honor the Earth are also collaborating to bring a solar thermal panel manufacturing facility to the White Earth Reservation. Through collaborations between Honor the Earth and Solar Energy International, she has also contributed to installs on the Navajo and Western Shoshone reservations and territories.

In 2007, LaDuke was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, recognizing her leadership and commitment to her community. In 1994, LaDuke was nominated by Time magazine as one of America’s fifty most promising leaders under forty years of age. She has been awarded the Thomas Merton Award in 1996, Ms.Woman of the Year (with the Indigo Girls) in l997, and the Reebok Human Rights Award, with which in part she began the White Earth Land Recovery Project. The White Earth Land Recovery Project has won many awards- including the prestigious 2003 International Slow Food Award for Biodiversity, recognizing the organization’s work to protect wild rice from patenting and genetic engineering. LaDuke was a co-founder, and Board Co-Chair of the Indigenous Women’s Network for fifteen years, and maintains a significant role in international advocacy for Indigenous people.

Breaking News!   Right here in Montana we must fight for our right to have a choice!  Greetings Sisters and Brothers!

WE NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE DONATE TO OUR LEGAL FUND!

The Montana Green Party is facing a legal challenge to our ballot access! We are incredibly saddened that the Democratic Party is working so hard to silence progressive voices in Montana
and we pledge to continue to fight for your right to vote for candidates that represent you!

The DNC has brought in Perkins & Coie, the same high powered international law firm that they used to defend HRC and the DNC against Bernie supporters after the 2016 Democratic National Convention! Standing up to these bullies is not going to easy and we need financial support!



EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!

Together we can stand up to these bullies and defend the civil rights of all Montanan's!
The Green Party for peace, people and planet has every right to have candidates on the ballot.
The Corporate Shenanigan Parties of empire should not be allowed to hog the ticket. 
We only have two choices...

One can vote for unending wars, bankruptcy, global depression and chaos with the corporate partites.

Or vote for peace, people and a healing planet with a Green New Deal.




A life or death choice... for Freedom   http://mtgreenparty.org/donate/

There will be an election this coming November.  

 Republicans brag and Democrats lie about dozens of avoidable wars of choice
which have already bankrupted the nation: spending trillions killing millions for
billionaires with wars for extraction, exploitation and extortion. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ckv6-yhnIY&index=3... 

We need a Green New Deal for peace, people and planet... or 12 years from now it will be all over but the shoutin'

https://thepeaceresource.com/.../26/revolution-is-the-cure/

The corporate parties have merged… and we must not be moved.  “How can we create a sustainable green future that includes economic equity and social justice?”

“How can agendas for economic rights and environmental protection become more integrated and more successful?”  Seventy-five years after the start of the New Deal,
and nearly 40 years after the first Earth Day, the need for basic change on behalf of social justice and ecology is clear.  But ideas are the easy part. In an era of massive
environmental damage and vast economic inequality, we’ve got to organize.

https://revolutionresource.org/.../green-new-deal.../

It is time for a Green New Deal to revitalize the nation and invest in a sustainable future. 

If you can afford even a dollar or two, this will help us fight the corporate elite and
finally we can have a real chance for peace, justice and freedom on the ballot.
