Resistance through litigation and land recovery is restoring White Earth forests and culture

Evidence

There is a direct link in our community between the loss of biodiversity—the loss of animal and plant life—and the loss of the material and cultural wealth of the White Earth people. But we have resisted and are restoring. Today, we are in litigation against logging expansion, and the White Earth Land Recovery Project works to restore the forests, recover the land, and restore our traditional forest culture. — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 67
