The Great Lakes Basin is under severe ecological threat from
fracking, bursting pipelines, sulfide mining, abandonment of
government environmental regulation, invasive species, warming and
lowering of the lakes, etc. This book presents essays on
Traditional Knowledge, Indigenous Responsibility. and how
Indigenous people, governments, and NGOs are responding to the
environmental degradation which threatens the Great Lakes. This
volume grew out of a conference that was held on the campus of
Michigan State University on Earth Day, 2007. All of the essays
have been updated and revised for this book. Among the presenters
were Ward Churchill (author and activist), Joyce Tekahnawiiaks King
(Director, Akwesasne Justice Department), Frank Ettawageshik,
(Executive Director of the United tribes of Michigan), Aaron
Payment (Chair of the Sault Sainte Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians), and Dean Sayers (Chief of the Batchewana First Nation).
Winona LaDuke (author, activist, twice Green Party VP candidate)
also contributed to this volume.
