Join Vandana Shiva, Leah Penniman, Winona LaDuke, and Jeremy Lent for a discussion on moving the world to a community-oriented way of life.
The path toward an ecological civilization moves us from an uncivilized society based on selfish wealth accumulation to one that is community-oriented and life-affirming. You’re invited to join us for a virtual conversation on the ways communities are already working toward that goal—and how you can be a part of it.
This event features contributors to our upcoming issue of YES! Magazine, "An Ecological Civilization"—Vandana Shiva, Leah Penniman, Winona LaDuke, and Jeremy Lent—and will be facilitated by YES! executive editor Zenobia Jeffries Warfield and Andrew Schwartz, co-founder and executive vice president of the Institute for Ecological Civilization. Reserve your seat now!
THE GREAT NORTHERN - JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 7, 2021
The Great Northern celebrates our cold, creative winters through ten days of diverse programming that invigorate mind and body. In an era of changing climate that threatens our signature season, we seek to create community, inspire action, and share the resilient spirit of the North with the world.
The health and sustainability of our environment and climate are elemental to who we are as a society. Films are a powerful tool to address climate change — they educate, inspire, and empower audiences toward action. For the inaugural collaboration of The Great Northern and MSP Film, we are presenting films that speak to essential issues in the climate conversation based around the 4 elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire.
Climate Action Films:
The Biggest Little Farm (Earth)
First Daughter and the Black Snake (Water)
2040 (Air)
Rebuilding Paradise (Fire)
Reserve your ticket and start watching Thursday, January 28 through February 7, 2021. You will have 48 hours to complete once you begin watching.

Winona LaDuke believes Big Oil is the black snake predicted in indigenous prophecy to bring the earth’s destruction. When new oil pipelines threaten sacred wild rice lakes, Winona dreams of riding her horse against the current of oil, organizing a spiritual ride, because a horse can kill a snake.
