LaDuke (with Co-Author, Sean Cruz) writes the Militarization of Indian Country by taking a very specific look at the impact the U.S. military has had on Indian Country. In doing so, LaDuke carefully examines how the military has affected Native people, Native economies, and the Native lands. From military use of Native names to outright poisoning of Native peoples for military testing, the U.S. military’s impact on Indian Country is unparalleled. Together, LaDuke & Cruz take an honest look at what impact the military has had on Native peoples since early colonization. Read more...
