new start with the poem called the jesus of pine ridge the jesus of the pine ridge indian reservation in south dakota was re speaking lakota until he was five years old he was sent to the catholic boarding school mission on the reds were the nuns washed his native language out of him every time he was caught speaking lakota and they watched in english with white bar so when he was a young teenager again it's a recurring dream of nuns crucified him atop an old wooden telephone pole with number two lead pencils to direct response and feet wire not look when you're stretched and wrapped around his head like a crown of thorns pages of big chief notepad paper fastened around his groin area like the wind after he ran away from a boarding school at age fifteen you never again had that dream and that ending of his prophecy vision he knew he was jesus a pine ridge destined to deliver the full wasn't half breeds way from the huckabee is one of these and pale skin doubles

normally do she's the author of many essays speeches and the novel last standing woman of all the other books that you see up here in her new collection of the monolithic reader collects a lot of her own published work including any of those essays speeches inside journalism it's a it's a wonderful collection and has also been the vice presidential candidate we're feeling really lucky to have three kids in a particular story at so sundance own thank you offer for having me and for coming and all female head since i'm from the mica mustn't and i hope your job worried our friend really annoyed you were going for a kind of wandering spirit i saw it i mean i don't usually read from this book has i don't usually read nonfiction i mean i read it myself obviously since i write it but i have been on

site i thought what i do is make a few comments and then if you want me to do some reading i could read from from the novel or some of the exits and not win here but mostly just an answer some questions in talk a little bit about what i'm writing about when i'm thinkin bout i am i think you all know i'm a little bit about me i'm not sure you know that has raised in ashland i think a lot of people know that and they may not know that my parents my mother was actually my stepfather and i am i air but i will i work i live on the reservation that night my father is from which is so what if as a nation in northern minnesota and on i am i guess i wrote all these books at home on my kitchen table i am the house side by depleting the organizing will say on a reservation home and environmental justice issues i direct a nonprofit organization which i think is one of the largest reservation based nonprofit veterans' organizations in the country of a wider plan to cover project which no we never make the national media brushfire so you're going to hear about us which is kind of the state grassroots organizing in the sea is that a really

strange it into the national media was here as to get the difference between now and is the discussion that julia roberts why it is that i know so much about julia roberts and it's a little about some of the other people who robs consequence ceremony this is a pose questions about that i how things work in the society but i am i i i began writing when i was in high school were mostly in college and some of the essays that are in this book are you know that is quite remarkable to look back and see something he wrote in like nineteen eighty one now an essential i was you know i remember how difficult it was to pick up anything even right know how difficult it is to sometimes just express something and i remember the process of writing some of the early pieces that are in this program i started to write about i made of environmental justice issues because nobody was and because lew be engaged in the struggle like i took

some time off from college and i went down and i worked on the navajo reservation and uranium mining issues in the late seventies seventy eight seventy nine arm and arm when i went there to work and another was forty four operating uranium mines and chain uranium nelson but so far power plants and orchestra barnes all on our adjacent to the navajo reservation huge environmental and human impact huge transformation occurring you know at the by the determination of energy companies and then you know obviously from you know the questions that i asked her that were being asked either i was a legal researcher i have worked for some lawyers are mostly drove them around and then i would you know i my other job was to take things in and translate them from what i call government to ease you know which is that whoever is the government documents are written and a common english word for protocol in new mexico in the environment

education project and an ipod from a study when i was an undergraduate harvard for instance and that certain analysts call from los alamos scientific labs statement that quote was perhaps the solution to the radon emission problem of uranium mining in the latest his own the land into uranium mining and mill in district so as to forbid human habitation you know how someone that mean if you were a navajo living with forty four uranium mines around europe a thousand abandoned uranium mine shots that need the government would recognize it there is a huge problem that they were not informing about an on set found that document and i lived i extract of the quote with putting on a community organizer literature and were trying to talk to people about radiation in other mobile an act somewhere and try to negotiate new mines and now you know what you know the first thing i realized is that i would translate those and english for them it would have to translate into navajo the vast majority people

impacted or in the process of having mind sign up on their land or agreements on land where we're now speakers and they did they did not read english and so on you know the irony of the situation as i think that some of you know that there was you know there's not a word actually for radiation in navajo there to make up a workforce so the question that i would have been and that it was a probably have this happen to get informed consent if you send someone into an underground uranium mine with high levels of radiation at how did you actually imported worker of the possible health impacts we ok speak his language and became translate that impacted his language so that is you know that's how i got a bunch of politicized like iran said came from a family that was politically active so it was not as if i know fell off a potato truck itself <unk> neck of the woods is without the big potato companies that um um it is to say that i know these questions

you know a very real injustices but also ultimately you know im in a broader context questions of democracy questions of who gets to determine the future of community eventually determined by somebody in exxon boardroom arm or you know whoever you know some government agency decides that they have a new contract within one official or whatever or those decisions should be made by the community and how those decisions and they would say that that is a minimally up with a seismic no no solace i was eighteen nineteen and i was undergraduate at harvard at the time in an unsolicited to work on those issues and i started to write about them in and then i found this really amazing thing which was that that even the progressive publications i write mostly for any publications and that's one of the great things about this book yeah like is that most of the things that are written here were published only in the newspapers because i will tell you that you know i was busy life so i cannot spent all my time sucking up to

somebody's going to say that that you're trying to get someone to publish something which is you know how well written piece but for some reason you know i remember being told him in these times is actually prevent publication ever been told once but in these times that and they were not publish another story because they had more than the month before those thinking well you know if they said that they would only read one article about white people every four months would not be interesting our online article about the media committee was not you know farm no they already did that you know and then they also said that they thought that i've that i've you know that i was by i asked was like opposite interesting does that mean that only you know i mean you know what the african american community except that you know if alonzo you know only white people can do journalism about black people because they are not biased you know our are descending conversely agree with that reflected in them they're not you know we see on tv does that mean the only people of color can can discuss the issues of you know white

people mean how does that work you know how exactly does that work or bias is determined so i kind of began my uphill battle which continues to this day with even the progressive media on issues of what is covered and why it should be covered and who determines what that isn't and what is bias in all i am unabashedly i write as i do you know what that is just about my experience on my argument is that everybody has a bus you know and we just have to all that everybody has a bias in any kind of sort through that you know my job is like an acetate is to china take an issue and make it make sense to somebody you know and now of course you know in my in my from my vantage point has been a new political analysis which accompanies you know that's the reality on the malian the year someone has a choice in and looking out to disagree or agree you know but i think that i'm no and i don't think that a better journalism is unbiased nor do i think that i am

you know the nordic n and i but i think most importantly that stories need to be told of song about us what i try to do the best i can and for him the twenty some years that i've written is so i try to write stories and tell stories that well by large not see the light of day in the sun its abundance let us why it became compelled to two right and that's always kind of a joke at my house because i kind of you know do the best i can to continue doing organizing work that i really you know if i could pick what i was gonna do it probably just the journalist an artist a writer cause i really enjoy the process of writing are more than you know anything even the national politics actually liked writing but you know it's you know it is kind of a question of time but then my friend rob would say is that sometimes the private citizen must become a public citizen and so sometimes if you if you are i have thought that reflected on these issues sometimes must twitch and voiced towards them in a broader

meaning wrong but as laughing because now this last week and it's like these two stories i really one of hating on and starting on demand you know i'm hoping i can guess is the story done before they vote on that the city council on the line with that physician a sacred site that i was on this story i was interested in working on this and south dakota whose song in any of the synthetic dyes the northwest immensely horn was one of them with his aspiring south dakota whose surname is tom tobin an innovative you're probably not but he's the winner south dakota and his entire career has been based on fighting indians in atlanta does establish indian reservations curtail indian jurisdiction on the next trouble court systems you know take a really bizarre cases that would somehow impair indian sovereignty and that over time check you know why does he spent his entire

life you know these questions that a lot of us would have about people who you know want to roll back on a court case and so whenever it's so and the operative in bed and the year so that is are why do home are right now working on them you know mostly are on an opera because i have the privilege of being here at the enchanting for salmon russell and ad put out that this event precise sounds very nicely that i i eat a lot of food and now looked a lot of fish and horses and have their time and i'm really nice time around but i encourage you to attend that and now you know obviously i think in a primary tenets of people yesterday nevius to continue the microphone a chorus and i say that i you know i understand that this is a new study about bringing a seventy thousand shipments of nuclear waste or inferred they call it a low level which you know in my mind is in the sky mixing a

little bit pregnant and they mostly they're wasting recall or whatever but it's not what you are around them you know in all their analysis of all solution to pollution is delusional and you know it isn't actually a solicitation as you just a week you about what i had a cop i was visiting a sun was telling me that this guy gordon smith is at his name was a big proponent of this whole proposal side to take that opportunity too going to criticize him for that you know it's going to do grandma ceo centers as savings and are so i work on the same issues nationally mostly on native energy policy issues in them and that's why i was instead of course the interest in the salmon issue and then the other thing is is that i have stuart mill reservation an issue right now that may be of interest to a lot of you or may not be is that the issue of wild rice which you may or may not know much about him and you've ever being wild rice

what's going to instead no we need you in late wife's while rice was do you look like a few less so there's this huge issue in our community has been for a long time there that i'm you know like chris has harvested only two indians climate to market and i give myself a market into the boat the canoe in any politician or a new law no hardship than we know it you know take care of your race in a way it's a huge get our communities it's a huge source of income for a lot of people in lot of our people are really far below the poverty level and we have you know we have a wild rice economy got it about twenty years ago by you know you'll receive less on about the trade name would be uncle dan's photos time you know where these guys came in and they figured out how to domesticate that wild rice imported waste habits and so it started in the

sauna the call of the state grain and they invested a bunch of university research money into creating a stage name for twenty five rice farmers in between twenty five and fifty as was its fifty the time stamped lymphoma and now three quarters of all races produce wild rice it's produced this country comes from california it's grown in a desert losing subsidized water and now you know what my chico where is the rest of his notes it is a crop that should not be grown in northern california you know it's an aquatic club you know pork or an aquatic crop in the desert you know in late date data harvest to have a mere minutes was a common ones hear that they put into crops illegitimate off halfway through the year and they fearless silicone in the internet seventy go back into the ground and then use all these things like to forty and now why anna you is just that ah that is the problem but the problem became worse because two years ago the reasons that i can think of the map of the genial bob lutz which is something an arab barre colonialism margin most they don't want to

happen and then a company in california also patented want rights and so are our community a citizen somebody like haven't won rise of isis actually gets about warren as an honor and a lot of our tribe's are very concerned about this issue on the only feel outraged rightfully so it's an infringement of the nazis questions of property rights which you know it's a bizarre concepts of western law concept which i don't think it applies to life you know i don't think that happens to be you know parents might be for toasters a mouse traps are not from what you know but these questions and the us are tribes are on most extraordinary passed resolutions opposing the patenting and then also closing on this and researchers in australia they're shooting genes into wild rice known you know our friendship lucia silva rice crop known is that the issues of salmon are things so off that's a lot

more organizing on this and i guess i was talked to people but because in the least i think that for instance in on the comedy shopping for food crops irrigation stresses that should not be caring parents you know because it's a it's a form of bio piracy was taken a rich as if it's a fair trade issue you know but then in addition to that it has now become a huge issue in terms of genetic modification so long and we are waiting patiently for his free from his attorney were looking at the challenging the patent somewhat to that which was the challenge done by the canadian celine dion the basmati rice they challenged that patent and maddening tree and sold are tribes of looking at challenges the patents and then also looking at these you know challenging the genetic modification to try to stop it before it you know it gets to five sets in our writing because it is forgettable and actionable coming on for sometime next year by the verdict that footnotes thom tillis kind of a

hassle but on them set a snippet of what i work on a little bit about writing a nurse was it does have some questions i'll be happy to answer them since imus camp here yes horses it definitely is you know in our area insert a huge issue in terms of the decline of the small farmer's it's everywhere in on the significance of that loss and then you see the transformation of the larger companies coming in and buying them up in their transmission to the community and the culture practices and then you

know but you know that is what skewed about agriculture in on the questions about here we go since both those states well erica midkiff is quite ironic in its toll on you know my theory on this and i actually bought in the last book in that in this as well as you know the perfect example is the question of the buffalo you know you have an ecosystem the great plains it's the largest wyoming north america and a hundred fifty years ago yet in total biodiversity had to have fifty different species of grasses all kinds of animals and fifty million buffalo and then now you know that the buffalo were a symbol of what was needed and so in america said about the process it was a military practice to destroy the buffalo you know was an

enormous it was to destroy the buffalo to be destroyed the next people over there it's people that aren't just to bring in a man known to be our standard look what i care about it but i we are you know and so that was a policy to destroy the buffalo's largest are in the book were people in lebanon people and on the and also they they destroyed the buffalo and then they end up with what we have today which is you know i'm so where there's fifty nine buffalo and nine hours forty nine cattle you know total loss of like to go from two to fifty different species of grass down to a down to earth you know one crop when a field and it's on by monsanto you know and it's totally capital intensive and totally you know we'll intensive that it's totally inefficient in terms of everything and down in a lot of remarkable stuff that was an above my theory is that basically can informant and agriculture policy and military policy and on that as you know as that's what they've done yes

you know i'm not sure that i'm going to run in two thousand for and what i am encouraging the obvious agrees to un and i'm hoping that while for some other candidate will run the home and it is just really personal reasons that ciba large animal few days three children of my own of seven kids in my house and there was a pretty immense job for the next two years a future returns in their homework indeed it really honest a new security agency that's why it's you know so that's what i'm really focusing on among will see articles a night i i did you know i don't think i would consider it again you know i mean i was interested in running in the state now but it was just his loved one against jesse ventura made by a saudi politics

it is unusual but it is now you know people say it's a long shot run for the white house it would not have such a long shot run for the governorship minnesota so and i consider some like that you notice here are supporting clinton telling minnesota was running and you know i'm really on encouraging folks to learn and i'm obviously i'm a proponent of the multi party system and i really fear and courage the law says the political people to to think critically about issues though you know openly tell you i got a pretty big debate over the issue of i oppose someone running against paul wellstone minnesota and paul willson is very progressive i think is like the most progressive senators and they are delightfully vehemently disagree with them on some issues in addition to support the patriot act and it should not say you know and it was ominous positions and it's not until it falls in a minute about us on a full page apple's a lost art now i disagree about a hundred percent rating from the league of conservation voters and then

everything else he's told a great suffering almost two major are issues that you know they're going to start in auburn up the lessons of the things we can agree with totally you know even if they're great it outside and support that i took a lot of heat on that i did not support us running somewhat against someone who was a very progressive senator about we should we should spend our time focusing on fielding candidates in building the party and running you know in places both in a way there was somebody related to run against him but it depends you know and i know that even after i'm sure that there's also a subject of much discussion and you know there's no easy answer is a spry two tactical a discussion to get into but you know these kinds of issues in iowa i think we all have to grapple with

this is because nobody knows for them for the food court market and whenever that we're never gonna take over uncle pans in on a display at as they were one of the disney are totally you know it's a fair trade issue and they're as there's millions upon some of rice another minnesota which a preservation our reservations have this legacy in there for rice and there are you know i'm so it's a bit like his issues that infuriates hugh and i am just in our community is infuriating actually i look at the fact that the state of minnesota in recent years but so there's been millions of dollars you know domesticating law by screening non shattering varieties

for pope atrocity all these things and those fifty you know right now there's twenty five farmers planted by farmers in the state you know rice farmers that book paddy rice farmers in this fifty thousand ojibwe it's anatoly got our economy you know they spent all this money is the perfect example of the use of public funds for private benefit of a very few individuals and so you know we are we told that being on screen at the moment most authentic as i receive an honorary doctorate from the university of a sudden later i was down there but what i said i said you know this image it's like your tax dollars at work on the episodes at once just let the university of california did that research and seventy five percent of the race or is it up there now you already set the mark you're a bit of a minnesota you know so actually there's plenty of what's going

on than us on a wisconsin that you know what people buy from canada unison that there's a good crop support suffer you know there's a difference of race either in lakes and harvest it with airports it's not good to think he wanted you know but it's a you know it's my the house a coffee roaster and i know the difference between fear triggered an act and i know the price difference in all but it's likely a premium because you do the right thing for certain types of the same issues in a sort of something good target on end if we have on our web site the one of the recovery project a native harvest were putting up were just putting up all the rise campaign issues and let's set out his vision of literature oh my staff was all the service in a locked out the door send it on the literature and don't tell anybody that i'm not in trouble but remember our stuff yeah it's a murder native harvest or white earth land recovery project

native harvest for better product was called native harvest or the white earth land recovery project in over the issue is on the rise and we have a whole campaign in you know up there and and it's it's moving was a lot happening that is loaded onto a website whenever those people are working out this week is it ish it's a neatly presented know it they probably his niceness a natural wild rice on the census has cultivated the other thing is is that you know in our personal estimation they totally watch up the process you know our race is kind of a brownish to light brown summonses mean he's in there because when we process every holiday not the lake you let it dry and then he parked it right and these the drums and then you take it out of the window a nice to do it in our idea last year with a basket eucalyptus but he also you know we have we doing family

and you know at an athena whatever so that's our process right wood fired that's a widow and assorted traditional way with some immediate technology or what those other guys do is they get the race in ferment patties they lay it out i went to the factory the factory that passes the like what that paddy rice called indian harvest us like we get this like you know and it i do i checked out the whole thing on those dozen and it's a dutch trading company and that the ceo is dutch and the general manager is dutch doesn't want to call himself the dutch artist i mean you know that's about the mouth feel more honest about it now but it was a baby what they do is they take and then they water and when the water actually ferment it is what it did up from you know an eternity in athens and makes a

dark so if you see that rising star ryan budget is in the store is really dark and that that they also have a leash a shattering a non shuddering halt so it's a harder rights and that's the people grow accustomed to in those wild rice plans it's black long and it has a big it's hard that's not the return of racy millions of what the battle of the cardinal in the senate you know but that's what people think is that the top of the long way soon so that's a contrite tone you know but that said you know it's just one of many issues but it's you know it's not our community was kind of smack dab in the middle of this whole debate you know about gas and trade right send in on bio colonialism among know it's indicative of some yeah i mean now i could i'd be happy to sign someone set dilettante have an answer some questions if there's any other night as you come up on

jeff bezos is it's

been years and it has in my house and you know i'm i'm ballin just like every other parent on those issues of censorship know michel i can't believe that they will listen to that you know noah and so its very tough know all of the all of the things and mom you know i think that i didn't think that was seen both you know i mean i have the privilege of talking to a lot of kids in a lot of high school or in grade school and college campuses and on a very simple six years of very alienated in and then you see cancer that are going to stay angry but you know our urgent you know and i have seen a rise in the past couple of years and end in an eight kids really inspired you know run a lot of it around them at all or schooled in america's issues and on their militias and in the region and i think it isn't really you know and since i'm a journalist and

i was talking about that it's fall in the town was an art his body

is a an accidental from prison sentence you think of it you know but it's a very i think about i was talking about that controlling here and over there and largely in other coming back to that end and you know these businesses that come in and they take over the oceans and these questions of who should own the oceans and the claps of one stock after about nevada's companies of which is a huge food industry is vertical integration and his cause was that you know when i'm thinking about that it encourages think as we have this battle in our community
