The Winona LaDuke Reader: A Collection of Essential Writings
2002
A book by Winona LaDuke

In this compilation of 40 speeches, articles, and fiction excerpts, LaDuke discusses issues that pertain not only to Native Americans but to the entire U.S. population. She speaks to the genocide being done by the conglomerates, with the help and approval of the U. S. government. She cites the incinerators built around the country, the nuclear power plants and their waste, the dumping of chemical and toxic wastes, and the biological and chemical warfare being lodged against the average citizen of the world. She not only sounds the doomsday warning but also shares insights on ways to combat what is happening. Winner of the Bookstore of the Americas 2002 Readers' Choice Award in the adult nonfiction category. Foreword by Ralph Nader.

Pte Oyate: Buffalo Nations, Buffalo Peoples
1998
A book by Winona LaDuke

In Pte Oyate, LaDuke correlates the social, economic and environmental problems of the Great Plains with the mass extermination of buffalo and the consequent growth of the cattle industry. She makes a case that current agricultural policy is based on historic military policy and a faulty American frontier mythology. On the basis of this analysis, LaDuke advocates for the support of current buffalo restoration efforts as means to heal and restore the prairies and the lives of the people who live there.

She then proposes a concrete but visionary model for expanding buffalo restoration on the plains by establishing a "buffalo commons." The buffalo commons concept, she says "is the beginning of something big, as big as a dream has to be in that immense region." Pte Oyate is meant to encourage that dream.

In this intriguing analysis of Native America's relationship with energy development, Laduke demonstrates how from uranium and coal to dams and oil, the energy industry exploits Native communities without concern for the air, water, or their sacred lands.

The survival of not just our communities but of all people is linked to the destiny of our food and our ability to feed ourselves.
