Harvey Arden is a former Senior Writer for National Geographic and Author of numerous books, including “Noble Red Man: Lakota Wisdomkeeper Mathew King”, “Travels in a Stone Canoe: The Return to the Wisdomkeepers”, and “Have You Thought of Leonard Peltier Lately?” He is also the Editor for Leonard Peltier’s own book, “Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance.”
On Jan. 15 2009, Mr. Arden sat down at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, CA to read from his writings and share some of the lessons he’s learned throughout the course of his life.
In Part 1, Harvey reads an excerpt from “Travels in a Stone Canoe” a book co-authored by Steve Wall.
In Part 2, Harvey turns to “Noble Red Man“, a record of writings and interviews with the late, highly respected Lakota Elder and spokesperson, Matthew King.
Finally, in Part 3, Harvey discusses the struggle of Indigenous Activist Leonard Peltier, who has been falsely imprisoned for over 30 years.

Across the world right now, Indigenous peoples are facing a renewed assault on their lands, rights, and ways of life.
From extractive industries pushing deeper into ancestral territories, to governments rolling back hard-won protections,
the threat is global—and it is growing.
What makes this moment especially dangerous is how little attention it receives.
Stories like this are disappearing in real time. Mainstream media
barely covers it and the coverage is fragmented. The public is left without the context
needed to understand what is truly at stake.
That is exactly why IC Magazine exists..
For more than 20 years, IC has reported on Indigenous struggles worldwide — consistently, independently, and without compromise.
We don’t follow news cycles; we trace patterns. We don’t sensationalize; we provide context.
And when the world looks away, we stay focused.
But this work is increasingly difficult to sustain.
We refuse to lock our reporting behind a paywall. We don’t sell access through subscriptions.
And we don’t answer to advertisers. IC Magazine survives solely because readers like you choose to
support independent Indigenous journalism.
Please donate today if you can. Every contribution helps us to continue this crucial work.
Thank you,
John Ahni Schertow
Founder and Editor in Chief
