Woodstock, NY Winona LaDuke 612 879.7529 Winona LaDuke will speak at Woodstock Museum |

Winona LaDuke speaks to raise funds for Wind Turbines on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Honor the Earth's Energy Justice Initiative to support alternative energy-and especially, wind power-in Native America. "Native people have borne the brunt of America's past energy policy, from uranium mining in the southwest to massive hydro-electric projects in the sub-arctic. It is time for energy justice, and it is time for a new energy policy," states two-time Green Party Vice Presidential Candidate LaDuke, who serves as Honor the Earth's Program Director. People attending the benefit may also benefit from swimming in a non-toxic pool cleaned with hydrogen peroxide which oxygenates the body. Bring your towels. It's a chance to see our PV (photovoltaic) system in action. Solar hot water is also designed to bring self-sufficiency as well as sustainable living. With today's blackouts and energy crisis, this clean, safe technology must be considered. "We will explain how Governor Pataki is helping make New York number one in solar with rebates and low cost loans. One of the Woodstock Museum's greatest mission is to educate people in this area", says Shelli Lipton, Director of the Museum. Picnic on the museum lawn. Pack it in and pack it out. Movies brought by Winona will be shown in the Woodstock Museum multimedia theater with surround-a-sound and bare feet. We have sandals for those of you who are clueless to shoeless. Winona LaDuke, is an Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe) enrolled member of the Mississippi Band of Anishinaabeg and is the mother of three children. Winona is the Program Director of Honor the Earth and Founding Director of White Earth Land Recovery Project. Leading Honor the Earth, she provides vision and leadership for the organization's Regranting Program and its Strategic Initiatives. In addition, she has worked for two decades on the land issues of the White Earth Reservation, including litigation, over land rights in the 1980's. In 1989, she received the Reebok Human Rights Award with which she began the White Earth Land Recovery Project. In 1994, Winona was nominated by Time Magazine as one of America's fifty most promising leaders under forty years of age, and has also been awarded the Thomas Merton Award in 1996, the Ann Bancroft Award, MS Woman of the Year Award (with the Indigo Girls in 1997), the Global Green Award, and numerous other honors. A graduate of Harvard and Antioch Universities, she has written extensively on Native American and environmental issues. Her books include: Last Standing Woman (fiction), All Our Relations (non-fiction), In the Sugarbush (Children's), and just out, The Winona LaDuke Reader. With the net proceeds from this event, the Energy Justice Initiative will provide capital and technical support for wind projects on Great Plains reservations while continuing the fight against culturally and ecologically destructive energy projects. Today, presently installed U.S. electrical capacity is at 600 gigawatts of power. The wind potential of 23 Native nations in the Great Plains alone is about 300 gigawatts. "Our communities could power this country with wind. Financing wind energy in the economically poorest communities in the country is Energy Justice," explains LaDuke. Check her website: www.honorearth.org Directions to Woodstock Museum from Woodstock: Take West Saugerties Rd. to the end (5 miles). At the stop sign make a right. And then another right on Bach Rd. opposite Andrew's Sugar Shack. Go in about 60 ft. and make the left at the Woodstock Museum sign.

Solar Vacation/Workshop July
4-7
PAST EVENT
"The sun is our greatest renewable natural resource,
says Shelli Lipton, director of the Woodstock Museum.
Over the 4th of July weekend, the museum will teach
environmentally committed homeowners, builders,
retirees on fixed income, RV travelers, pool owners,
homesteaders, and other socially conscious people how
to harness solar power. This workshop is a great way
to spend a holiday weekend in the famous tourist town
of Woodstock, New York.
The pre-weekend solar blitz begins on Thursday, July
4th for out of towners who want to tour Woodstock, set
up camping and enjoy swimming at the museums pool
(treated with hydrogen peroxide and ionizers, not
chlorine). The official program starts Friday, July
5th at 7:30 P.M with a free film and slide show in the
museums air-conditioned amphitheatre, featuring Dr.
Komps annual teaching excursions to Nicaragua where
he teaches at the University and supplies villages
with solar electric power.
On Saturday July 6th and Sunday July 7th from 9-5, the
museum will host a hands-on solar technology workshop.
The first day covers solar hot water applications,
from repair and recycling old solar panels to
demonstrating the museums hot water system. The
second day is all about solar electricity. There will
be a tour and demonstration of the museums
state-of-the-art 2.5 Kilowatt photovoltaic
installation, built with the additional incentive of a
state mandated rebate program. Participants will
actually construct small panels capable of powering a
boom box or charging batteries. For a nominal
materials fee, you can go home with
the unit you make.
Our guide is the very knowledgeable Richard J. Komp,
Ph.D, returning for the third year. He teaches energy
conservation, non-polluting, renewable, energy sources
and environmentally friendly building practices. He
is author of Practical Photovoltaics (aatec
Publishers, Ann Arbor, MI) and publisher of a
quarterly newsletter, The Maine Sun . This seminar
will acquaint you with the many uses and advantages of
solar hot water and electrical applications.
Reservations are required. We accept VISA/MC/DISCOVER
credit cards, checks, money orders and cash.
Reservations are required. The cost for the two day
workshop is $100 per day and includes lunch. Price of
$300 includes all workshops, camping (including July
4th), continental breakfast, lunch and dinner for July
5-7th. $50 additional for spouse and each child. We
encourage families. We accommodate vegans, vegetarians
and meat and potato lovers. Camping includes parking
for RV's or pitching tents on site. We have an outdoor
hot/cold shower. If it rains, we also work outdoors
under the covered first floor of the museum building.
We can pick up people locally in Woodstock,
Saugerties or Kingston. This works well for people
traveling by bus. Well provide information on local
motels and Inns upon request.
This isnt something new. Even in the 70s, the
Carter administration put the solar panels on the roof
of the White House, says Lipton. Now its like
starting all over again, but its not too late. Solar
power works, says Nathan Koenig, co-founder of the
museum with Lipton, and New York is one State that
offers good incentives for installing solar power at
your home or business.
