Join the Superior Public Library and Wisconsin Public Radio for an all-new episode of PBS Wisconsin’s lecture series, University Place, featuring Dr. Katrina Phillips!

Connected live virtually to PBS Wisconsin’s Studio A in Madison, event attendees at the Superior Public Library will watch the lecture virtually in real time and have the opportunity to participate live in the post-talk Q & A.

Northern Wisconsin’s rich forests and plentiful lakes have been a marker of pride for decades. They have served as the foundation of Ojibwe livelihoods, as the backbone of industry, and as a key piece of the state’s conservation movement. In this talk, Dr. Katrina Phillips (Red Cliff Ojibwe) traces the parallel growth of tourism and treaty rights advocacy in the 20th and 21st centuries, highlighting the questions, contestations, and outcomes of these movements.
