Winona LaDuke
The Daughter of White Earth, Guardian of Seeds
Land back, seed by seed, fight by fight.
I was born between two worlds and chose the one that still remembers how to say thank you to the earth. I fight for land, language, and seeds that outlive empires. I’ve stood in boardrooms, tribal councils, and muddy front lines, and let me tell you—none of them hand out participation trophies. I'm not here to win a pageant. I'm here to win back what was ours before the maps got redrawn.
What I'm Into: manoomin harvests, the 1867 Treaty, saving seeds that remember the old soil, young ones with water protector tattoos, courtroom chess against corporate lawyers
