Winona LaDuke

Winona LaDuke was brought up in Los Angeles, California. She is a registered member of Mississippi Band Anishinaabeg at White Earth Reserve in northern Minnesota. Her father is an actor from the West and an activist in India. Her mother is a professor of Jewish art. She believes her parents told her the extremeist spirit. After meeting with Cherokee activist Jimmy Durham as a student at Harvard University, Laduk joined the Native American environmental problem. At the age of 18, she spoke to the United Nations about Indian matters and began making political names for himself.

After graduating from Harvard in 1982 and acquiring a bachelor's degree in local economic development, Raudk moved to White Earth. So she set up a Whiteland restoration project to restore the land of Anishina veg promised by the federal treaty of 1867, but at the request of the logging industry, the US government slowly stole it and wrapped it . I think that LaDuke is often involved in a failed legal dispute, but she continues to assert, receives grants and receives the Reebok Human Rights Award. With these funds, she and White Earth already have 1000 acres of land and hope to add an additional 30,000 acres over the next 15 years.

That challenge is huge. More than 90% of White's original 837,000 acres of land is still within reach of people outside the Indian. Laduk said that he can not dominate his destiny unless he can dominate his land.

In 1994, Time magazine cited LaDuke as one of the 50 most promising leaders under the age of 40. Today, she is known as a spokesman for economic and environmental problems in America and internationally the American Indians.

LaDuke served as an officer of Women Network and Greenpeace USA. She is the founding director of the Whiteland Recovery Program and the Global Aboriginal Foundation Earth Honor Award. She served as a vice presidential candidate for the Green Party in 1996 and 2000. Her book includes the last lady (fiction), all our relationships, Winona LaDuke's readers (nonfiction), Sugarbush's books, children's books.

Winona LaDuke lives in White Earth Sanctuary in Minnesota. So I created a Whiteland restoration project to regain the original land of Anishinaabeg people. LaDuke, who received the International Reebok Human Rights Award, is co-chaired by "Aboriginal Women's Network". http://nativeharvest.com/winona_laduke Giiwedinong means "to go home" using the word Anishinaabeg. Where are you coming? This is an important issue faced by modern industrial society today. We can not restore our relationship with the Earth until we find our place in the world. This is our challenge today: Where is it?
