Environmental and Indian rights activist
Winona LaDuke, an Ojibwe, was the Green Party’s vice
presidential candidate in 1996 and 2000. In this book, she examines
the struggle of American Indians to reclaim their sacred sites and
beliefs, as they seek to heal themselves and the land from
corporate exploitation of their water, minerals and timber. In
fierce and eloquent language, LaDuke shows us that in these
struggles, the very survival of the planet is at stake.
