UCF on the Issues speech by Winona LaDuke
It's a masterpiece of speech on sustainability from an Indigenous perspective, and we should all learn from this. Should be shown to every freshman entering a university. - Nicolas Barbier, French documentary film-maker
Winona LaDuke speech at Dole Institute
Winona Laduke tells the reality that we need to re-create as human beings with clarity and coherence. She is a blessing for all of us human beings. In a day and age when most so-called economic and political "leaders" are lost, greedy and/or insane and followed by herds of citizen-sheeps, we all should learn from her. - Nicolas Barbier, French documentary filmmaker
