About the Book: Born out of Patty Loew’s thirty years as a journalist and historian, Seventh Generation Earth Ethics: Native Voices of Wisconsin highlights individuals who helped to sustain and nurture their nations. This collection of biographies, one from each of the twelve Native nations in Wisconsin, introduces the reader to some of the most important figures in ecological and cultural sustainability. Each of the biographies highlights an activist, artist, educator, or healer who helped to sustain and nurture their nations in the past and present. The people whose lives are depicted in Seventh Generation Earth Ethics understood the cultural gravity that kept their people rooted to their ancestral lands and acted in ways that supported future generations.
