Note --- New and Improved with VIDEO:

Winona LaDuke spoke last night at UW-Stout in Menomonie. I was privileged to hear her speak about sustainability, food, the experience of being a female Native American, and much more. She in particular discussed the work she is doing in Minnesota raising native food crops on Native American land. I recorded the talk (though on my cell phone so the audio quality may be patchy). Her talk was interesting, funny, and pointed, particularly about how we are all managing to fool ourselves on the issue of climate change. We would like to thank Winona LaDuke for permission to publish this audio.

From Wis. Network for Peace & Justice:

Michael Wiggins Jr WNPJ's member assembly and awards reception Saturday, October 8th at the Pyle Center in Madison just got more exciting!
Bad River Tribal Chair Mike Wiggins, right, will join our discussion of "Extreme Mining in Wisconsin." The tribe strongly opposes the proposed Penokee Hills open pit mine.

Member assembly

WNPJ's member assembly runs from 11 am to 2:30 pm, and includes lunch. Registration is $20 for WNPJ members, $25 for non-members, and can be paid at the door. From Keepers of the Water We'll open with a "State of the Network" report and WNPJ's proposed budget and Board slate for 2012.
Then we'll view "Keepers of the Water," on the grassroots uprising against the Crandon sulfide mine, followed by a stellar panel on "Extreme Mining in Wisconsin": Professor and author Al Gedicks, Bad River Tribal Chair Mike Wiggins and Jessica Koski of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community on Eagle Rock in Michigan.
