This episode features a recent talk by Winona LaDuke, "Indigenous Thinking about a Post Carbon, Post Empire Economy" delivered for the 2008 student welcome on Wednesday, September 3rd at Wesleyan University to inaugurate the new academic year. Winona LaDuke is Anishinabe from the Makwa Dodaem (Bear Clan) of the Mississippi Band of the White Earth reservation in northern Minnesota. LaDuke is the author of the novel Last Standing Woman (1997), the non-fiction book All our Relations: Native Struggles for Land and Life (1999), and Recovering the Sacred: the Power of Naming and Claiming (2005), a book about traditional beliefs and practices. She is the Executive Director of Honor the Earth, an organization she co-founded with Indigo Girls in 1993. The Native-led organization's mission is "to create awareness and support for Native environmental issues and to develop needed financial and political resources for the survival of sustainable Native communities. Honor the Earth develops these resources by using music, the arts, the media, and Indigenous wisdom to ask people to recognize our joint dependency on the Earth and be a voice for those not heard."
