Red New Deal

During a campus visit, activist, scholar and member of the Ojibwe tribe, Winona LaDuke spoke about when America was great: when “there were 8,000 varieties of corn, and those 8,000 varieties didn't come from Monsanto…. when 50 million buffalo roamed the plains living on 250 species of grass, some grass varieties with 8-foot roots that helped hold the soil in place, and could have helped prevent the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression.” Today, many do not like to drink from our taps, let alone from our rivers and streams.

Some have championed the Green New Deal and its transitions to renewable energy, green infrastructure, environmental justice and market solutions to shepherd the country and the world into a brighter sustainable future. Some believe market mechanisms are the cause of our current state therefore cannot be relied upon as solutions to solve our climate crisis. The Red New Deal leans heavily on centralized government planning and principles of respect for nature, interconnectedness, stewardship and collaboration, consistent with many Native American customs and traditions. Red or Green, a sustainable future requires us to continue to learn from each other. Learn More
