Winona LaDuke is a leader in cultural-based sustainable development strategies, renewable energy, sustainable food systems and Indigenous rights. Her new book, To Be a Water Protector: Rise of the Wiindigoo Slayers, is an expansive, provocative engagement with issues that have been central to her many years of activism. LaDuke honours Mother Earth and her teachings while detailing global, Indigenous-led opposition to the enslavement and exploitation of the land and water. She discusses several elements of a New Green Economy and outlines the lessons we can take from activists outside the US and Canada. In her unique way of storytelling, Winona LaDuke is inspiring, always a teacher and an utterly fearless activist, writer and speaker.

Disjointed submitted by mowjac on August 13, 2021, 1:19pm I value LaDuke’s wisdom and worldview. Having said that, this book reads as a series of essays written on specific topics, so some are repetitive in theme and there is no editing done to make them stand together as a whole. The topic of water and economic devastation is relevant to all and I found this a necessary read.
