Patty Loew, PhD, is professor emerita in the Medill School of Journalism and inaugural director of the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at Northwestern University (retired). What can Icelandic Sagas, a supernova, and the introduction of European diseases tell us about the Ojibwe Migration Story and the journey back to the “Food That Grows on Water?” Professor Patty Loew (Mashkiiziibii Ojibwe) explores 10th century encounters that raise interesting questions about how to do respectful cross-cultural research.
