It seems more than a little bit weird that I'm starting to become incredibly interested in indigenous peoples' issues, mostly because I'm a middle class white girl from the suburbs. But honestly, their plight ties right into ecofeminism in a really profound way. Oppression of indigenous peoples and oppression of women both stems from overcommoditization of virtually everything and its destructive effects on our environment. I have read so many amazing papers lately about this issue, especially one by my Social Processes & the Environment professor, Jack Manno. His social theories are incredible and so dead on about the problems facing modern society. I have so much to say about all of this, but no time to do it, but...I really love this place. ESF rocks for teaching me about all this stuff. They're things I inherently knew but at the same time failed to recognize directly.
