To Be A Water Protector
The Rise of the Wiindigoo Slayers
PAPERBACK $25.00
Winona LaDuke is a leader in cultural-based sustainable development strategies, renewable energy, sustainable food systems and Indigenous rights. To Be a Water Protector, explores issues that have been central to her activism for many years — sacred Mother Earth, our despoiling of Earth and the activism at Standing Rock and opposing Line 3.
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.
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.
I am pairing this book “To Be a water Protector,” with my Louis Riel Coffee - the coffee of the resistance with a 16 0z Ceramic Travel Mug. Make this a holiday gift for a friend, and I will sign the book. Join me in the reading, and during these times of winter, stay warm, drink coffee, and join the New Green Revolution.
Featuring Winona’s mother, Betty LaDuke.

Children of the World - A Coloring Book Adventure by Betty LaDuke
Children of the world come from many sketchbooks filled during decades
of journeys around the world. I enjoyed learning about other people, their cultures and traditions that I could share with my children.
Children, Winona and Ajuawak, my daughter and grandson harvesting wild rice, on the White Earth Reservation, Minnesota.
Children’s work is frequently necessary for the family’s survival.
Children farm, care for chickens, rabbits, goats or cows and their siblings.
Children learn traditional skills from parents such as basket and cloth weaving or playing musical instruments.
Children are resilient. Some live in camps for war displaced people, play in the midst of war ruins or are raised in orphanages.
Children play in the midst of war ruins or miss an imprisoned parent.
Children are carried on mothers’ backs as mothers farm, market or cook. Grandparents also care for children.
Children of the World, how have they changed as they have their own children and grandchildren?
Let your feelings guide you in coloring. You can also see a selection of my paintings inspired by their children’s cultures and experiences in war and peace.
I hope you will enjoy this coloring book adventure and challenge. - BettyLaDuke
