Indigenous thinking for a New Millenium. LaDuke is the author of a forthcoming book on Native Environmentalism entitled All Our Relations , as well as the 1997 novel Last Standing Woman. The award winner, whose name will be announced at the lecture, will also speak briefly. Savio, who rose to prominence in 1964, when his eloquence catalyzed massive demonstrations for full freedom of speech and political expression at Berkeley, died of heart failure two years ago. Since his death, tributes to him have multiplied on the campus where he was once considered a troublemaker and denied readmission, despite an outstanding academic record.
