A TRUE PROPHETIC WARRIOR, THANK YOU WINONA LADUKE
Winona tells the truth, with brilliance.
What a very deeply insightful, intelligent and powerful indigenous Woman. It brings tears of gratitude to hear such a voice of and from Mother Earth. I have been going to Ojibwa Sweat Lodges and recognize we all need to listen to Women like her and Indigenous men too to get ready for what is coming and its coming sooner than i thought. Miigwich

It's not just T2 Diabetes we have to worry about, there is congenital / genetic Sucrose- Isomaltose Deficiency (CSID) that impacts Natives, but most haven't been diagnosed, GMOs are terrible for the body.
One question: Winona was quite excited about a Tesla - as I was when I first heard of it. But then I considered the huge carbon footprint of the production of the batteries not to mention the extraction of raw materials needed - mostly in the neocolonial manner from e.g. Congo and other countries. So it appears far from perfect in my eyes. Still mostly on the "scorched path".

The extraction of the minerals does not have to be done in the neocolonial manner, but that would require establishing principles of economic justice.

No more fossil fuels
I like her a lot. She’s very attractive
Ban disposable plastics.
Copper, Lithium, Silver- the metals and minerals come from Sacred lands. Solar is not the answer
We have had a blast with fossil fuel🤫
