Winona LaDuke, former vice-presidential candidate and Native American 
author, orator, and environmental activist, 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.
