For the indigenous peoples of this hemisphere the Columbian Quincentennial was not an occasion for cheering and parades. The arrival of the Italian-born, Spanish explorer initiated massive death and destruction. Yet native peoples survived and persevered. Today they offer a worldview that is singular and inspiring.
Winona LaDuke is one of the most brilliant and articulate representatives of indigenous perspectives. At the age of 17 she spoke at the UN on behalf of Native Americans. She is a founding member of Women of All Red Nations. She is the first Native American to run for national office.
