Recovering The Sacred
Haymarket Books (Verlag)
978-1-60846-627-6 (ISBN)
Only the power to define what is sacred - and access it - will enable Native American communities to remember who they are. The indigenous imperative to honour nature is undermined by federal laws approving resource extraction through mining and drilling. Formal protections exist for Native American religious expression, but not for the places and natural resources integral to ceremonies. Under what conditions can traditional beliefs be best practiced? Recovering the Sacred features a wealth of native research and hundreds of interviews.
Winona LaDuke: Winona LaDuke was named by Time in 1994 as one of America's 50 most promising leaders under 40. In 1997, with the Indigo Girls, she was named a Ms. Woman of the Year. In 1996 and 2000, LaDuke served as Ralph Nader's vice presidential running mate in the Green Party.
