Braiding Sweetgrass, Stopping Mines

On Love and Revolution Radio, we seek out real people and real stories about the heart of change. This week, we speak with Sandy Lyon of Northern Wisconsin about thirty years of nonviolent organizing that has asserted treaty rights, stopped mines, and driven out a US naval base. We'll be asking about the role of love, community, and the community radio station in creating a culture of creative, bold change.To learn more and connect:www.honorearth.orgBooks and Resources Mentioned:"Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer"Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn Community Rights and Thomas Linzey with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) http://celdf.org/Learn more about the Northern Wisconsin Treaty Rights Struggles:https://www.opendemocracy.net/tom-hhastings/anishinabe-and-unsung-nonviolent-victory-in-late-twentieth-century-wisconsinKnow Your Nonviolent History: The Bread and Roses Strike of 1912Learn more at: http://www.riverasun.com/bread-and-roses-strike-begins-jan-11-12-1912/Music by:"Love and Revolution" by Diane Patterson and Spirit Radio www.dianepatterson.org"Turn up your heart" by Jenny Bird www.jennybird.comAbout your co-hosts:Sherri Mitchell (Penobscot) is an Indigenous rights attorney, writer and activist who melds traditional life-way teachings into spirit-based movements.
