Winona LaDuke is an Ojibwe activist, environmentalist, economist and writer. In 1994, Time Magazine named LaDuke one of the nation’s 50 most promising leaders under the age of 40.
LaDuke was named Woman of the Year by Ms. Magazine in 1997 and won the Reebok Human Rights Award in 1998. Additionally, she ran as the Green Party’s vice presidential candidate in 1996 and 2000 with Ralph Nader.
At the age of 18, she addressed the United Nations for the first time and we are fortunate enough to have her with us as she offers some of her thoughts on the significance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
