Patty Loew: Indigenous Ways of Knowing (Presentation & Discussion)

Hoofers, 

This is an incredible opportunity to see author and Professor Emerita Patty Loew speak on campus! 

I heard that some of her talk will be about the interactive website "These Canoes Carry Culture" (https://cnair-canoe.github.io/canoe/index.html) which includes information about the birch bark canoe built by Wayne Valliere that some of us had the opportunity to paddle earlier in September!

How can educators teach Native American history, culture, and treaty rights in new, engaging ways?  Patty Loew, professor emerita at Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, describes experiential learning approaches that integrate the Four "R"s:  relationship, responsibility, reciprocity, and respect. In particular she focuses on a multimedia canoe project, an Indigenous Tour of Northwestern, and service-learning class trips to the Oneida Reservation.

A citizen of Mashkiiziibiig-- the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe, Dr. Loew is the author of four books, including Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal, now in its second edition; Native People of Wisconsin, which is used by 20,000 Wisconsin school children as a social studies text; and Teachers Guide to Native People of Wisconsin. Her book, Seventh Generation Earth Ethics, won the 2014 Midwest Book Award for Culture. Loew has produced many documentaries for public and commercial television, including the award-winning Way of the Warrior, which aired nationally on PBS in 2007 and 2011. For 20 years, she hosted news and public affairs programs, including WeekEnd and In Wisconsin, for PBS Wisconsin.
