[edit] To do to improve

This is a very good start. Other than the "red links" needing articles, here are additional way to expand the article:

• more on LaDuke's up-bringing that influenced her views
• more on LaDuke's political activism
• more on LaDuke's social activism
• more on LaDuke's environmental activism
• her bibliography

[edit]

I'm a college student at Regis University in Denver Colorado and recently Winona LaDuke visited my campus for a Public Policy event. Everything she spoke about was filled with a passion to create a better, more sustainable world. She also spoke about how many Native Americans are affected by environmental injustice. Her speech brought awareness to the issues that are going on in the world now, and how many activists are fighting for change. unsigned comment by 207.93.211.50
