Osprey Orielle Lake | How Worldviews & Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis

Join Indivisible Mendocino & Gallery Bookshop for a special presentation by author, activist, and organizer Osprey Orielle Lake.

Lake is the founder of Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), an organization whose mission is to protect and defend the planet, particularly through the work of women who have typically been unheard and undervalued by policymakers. She is the author of The Story Is In Our Bones and Uprisings for the Earth.

Praise for The Story Is In Our Bones:

"In this persuasive book, Osprey Orielle Lake asserts that the dominant worldview -- described as capitalist, colonialist, patriarchal, and extractive -- is the main culprit for environmental destruction. Examples include a global beverage company depleting Indian aquifers and petroleum producers that destroy boreal forests to extract Albertan oil sands. Lake denounces the "commodification and financialization of Mother Earth" and urges "humans, governments, and corporations" to "learn to live within planetary boundaries and reciprocity." She argues that a more fundamental heritage is "in our bones" -- preserved in Indigenous stories and culture."
