WASHINGTON - Green Party presidential hopeful Ralph Nader said Sunday that American Indian activist Winona LaDuke will again be his vice presidential running mate.
LaDuke, 40, is a Harvard graduate from the White Earth Indian Reservation in northwestern Minnesota. A farmer and author, she started the White Earth Land Recovery Project 10 years ago and is known for her work recovering lands taken from Minnesota's Objibway tribe.
''She is a very accomplished person,'' Nader told ''Fox News Sunday.''
The two were a ticket in the 1996 presidential campaign when the longtime consumer activist received less than 1 percent of the vote.
Nader, 66, entered the race in February with a promise to end what he says is corporate control of government and to put more power into the hands of the people.
The Green Party holds its nominating convention later this month.
