Think pieces worked into a blood-boiling collection

Want to be inspired all over again? Check out a 2002 offering titled The Winona LaDuke Reader: A Collection of Essential Writings published in Canada by Theytus Books. You remember Winona, that Harvard-educated, Chippewa who served twice as Ralph Nader's running mate on the Green Party's presidential ticket? LaDuke and publishers have combined 40 of her most important speeches, articles and fiction excerpts in this collection designed to get your blood boiling and your dander up. Nader writes the foreword and in it challenges you to "savor, digest, reflect, and see if you can contain your moral indignation ... leaving you no option but to engage."

Strong words from the fellow that may have tipped the scales of the last presidential election in favor of the Bush/Chaney Republican ticket. But we digress. LaDuke writes about Native environmentalism, Native traditions, women's issues and politics and the presidency. LaDuke has received other acclaim for her novel Last Standing Woman, published in 1997.
