""By capturing the legacies of these inspiring and courageous people, Dr. Loew reminds us that history can be and indeed is made every day in our communities by those who remain true to indigenous ecological values and cultural sensibilities."" --James E. Zorn, former executive administrator, Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission ""In Loew's capable hands these stories offer insight into the spiritual, ecological, and communal values of Native nations, into the cultural gravity that calls tribal people back to their home reservations, and into the Seventh Generation earth ethics that stand behind the grassroots movements founded by many of those featured in this volume."" --Kimberly Blaeser (White Earth Ojibwe), author of Apprenticed to Justice and past Wisconsin Poet Laureate ""Patty Loew invites us to greet, sit down with, and stand alongside these Native activists, artists, educators, and healers who have shown us the way of making community with the land and with each other. These wonderfully told stories are for friends, allies, and all defenders of place and culture."" --Rick Whaley, coauthor of Walleye Warriors: The Chippewa Treaty Rights Story ""We Anishinaabeg believe that all humans are born with a special gift to benefit and serve our first mother, the Earth, and all living beings. Seventh Generation Earth Ethics shares the biographies of twelve indigenous people whose lives provide pathways and inspiration for all to follow.""--Lisa Poupart (Lac du Flambeau Anishinaabequay), associate professor of First Nations Studies, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
