To Be A Water Protector
The Rise of the Wiindigoo Slayers
By Winona LaDuke
For this book, Winona discusses several elements of a New Green Economy and the lessons we can take from activists outside the US and Canada. In her unique way of storytelling, Winona LaDuke is inspiring, always a teacher and an utterly fearless activist, writer and speaker.
The book chronicles not only the stories of people and Water Protectors (the introduction attributes inspiration to Water Protectors like John Trudell and Josephine Mandaamin) but the legal, policy and historical background and potential of these stories.
Excerpt:
This book is written in the spirit of acknowledging that Water is Life. This book is a testimony of the resistance and defeat of the Wiindigoo. The term, “Water Protector,” became mainstream under a hail of rubber bullets at Standing Rock. This book is about that spirit, and that spirit is forever.
