Former vice-presidential candidate and Native American author, orator, and
environmental activist Winona LaDuke will be speaking in Burke Auditorium on
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 at 6:30 pm.

Inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2007, Ms. LaDuke is an
enrolled member of the Mississippi Band Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe) who lives and
works on the White Earth Reservation, and is the mother of three children.
She is the Executive Director of the White Earth Land Recovery Project and
Honor the Earth, both native environmental organizations focusing on issues
of environmental, economic and energy justice.

In 1994, Winona was nominated by Time magazine as one of America's fifty
most promising leaders under forty years of age. In 1998, Ms. Magazine named
her Woman of the Year for her work with Honor the Earth. Other honors
include the Reebok Human Rights Award, the Thomas Merton Award, the Ann
Bancroft Award, the Global Green Award, and the prestigious International
Slow Food Award for working to protect wild rice and local biodiversity.
LaDuke also served as Ralph Nader’s vice-presidential running mate on the
Green Party ticket in the 1996 and 2000 presidential elections.

A graduate of Harvard and Antioch Universities, she is a former board member
of Greenpeace USA, serves as co-chair of the Indigenous Women's Network, and
is the founding social entrepreneur of Native Harvest and Muskrat Coffee
Company.
