Winona LaDuke’s Indigenous Vision

In her 1998 Mario Savio Free Speech lecture, “Indigenous Vision for the New Millennium,” Winona LaDuke explores the conflict between indigenous people who live on the land and urbanized industrial society – that is, cyclical versus linear ideas of the world, and their results. [If her prescient advice had been taken 19 years ago, Antarctica might be intact.] LaDuke has a wonderful way of speaking and presenting. She pitches these ideas to an audience at U Cal Berkeley that she knows is only partly with her, in a wry but encouraging way. Part 1 of 2 WINGS programs featuring this entire speech.
