Welcome to the Deep North by Winona LaDuke

President Trump is coming to Bemidji Minnesota, a town between three large Anishinaabe reservations, Red Lake, White Earth and Leech Lake. A town which is the home to Bemidji State University, some stellar schools, and also some racism, big time. Beltrami County, is where Bemidji is located.

One thing for sure, a storm is brewing and change is here. In the time of the pandemic and societal change, there’s a way to hold on to old hatred and there’s a path towards reconciliation.

There are a lot of people who have hope and many of them hope to vote.

When I Used to Fly

When I Used to Fly

I used to have this superpower of flying all over the world. It’s true. I flew out of Fargo’s Hector Airport to the far reaches of Italy, Istanbul, and even Calgary. Those were the days. I sat next to cool people. I have a closet full of beautiful clothes that I used to wear when I would give a lecture at a university. Imagine this: I would talk, and people would clap.
