Winona LaDuke speaks of the time of the Seventh Fire, which she argues we are currently experiencing. We must choose between two paths, one path will be well worn, but scorched; the other path will not be well worn, it will be green.
Winona LaDuke is a member of the Ojibwe Nation of the Anishinaabe peoples and is the executive director of Honor the Earth, a grassroots environmental organization focused on Indigenous issues and environmental justice, which she co-founded in 1993.
She delivered her speech at the 37th Annual Schumacher Lectures on November 4th, 2017.
