Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Vision for the Future  with Patty Loew, Ph.D.

How does a historian begin a project?  Ojibwe author Patty Loew shares preliminary research for the 3rd edition of her award-winning book, Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal.  As in her previous work, Loew uses an Indigenous framework, gathering oral history and reconstructing the past in collaboration with tribal elders, educators, and culture keepers while relying upon sources that are Native and often not print-based.

Patty Loew, Ph.D., is an enrolled citizen of the Mashkiibiizii (Bad River Band) of the Lake Superior Ojibwe.  She has most recently served as a Professor at the Medill School of Journalism and Director of the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at Northwestern University.  Previously, Loew was a Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
