”WINONA LaDUKE on Be the AncestorYour Descendants Would Be Proud Of”
Leading indigenous voice Winona LaDuke offers exciting engagement in emerging energy and climate action and reminds us that America was great when people could drink from all its rivers and lakes.
LaDuke spoke a few months ago in Missoula, at the University of Montana. She is a rural development economist and author working on issues of Indigenous Economics, Food and Energy Policy. She co-founded Honor the Earth with the Indigo Girls, as a platform to raise awareness of and money for indigenous struggles for environmental justice.
Among the many topics she brings together is the enrichment of food with choices from early agriculture, including corn that can survive drought and wind…and Honor the Earth has pioneered projects making electricity drawn from wind available to native communities.
The pipeline struggles have become a way to steer investment away from fossil fuels and to affirm truly sustainable and climate friendly-choices. We are invited to ally with indigenous communities in this fight, and some of our members are doing just that!

DIRECTIONS TO BAJ MEETING SITE
106 Purefoy Road, Chapel Hill Community Church, Unitarian Universalist. FROM EITHER DIRECTION ON THE CHAPEL HILL BYPASS: take 15-501 [or NC 54] to the 15-501 Pittsboro exit. As you exit, TURN at the traffic light toward Chapel Hill. Almost immediately TURN RIGHT just short of the convenience store. That's PUREFOY ROAD, and you take it almost half a mile, passing two stop signs as it curves left up the hill until you can - just - see the third stop sign ahead of you. At that point, there is a driveway on the left with a subtle, tan sign for the church. That driveway takes you to the parking lot and the Community Church.
