Jim Northrup has died. He was 73 years old.
The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that throughout his career, Northrup wrote books, plays and poems. Many of this Ojibwe writer’s works were greatly influenced by his Anishinaabe heritage.
Here’s more from The Boston Globe: “Mr. Northrup’s one-man show was produced in 2000 in St. Paul. His books included Walking the Rez Road (1993) and Rez Road Follies: Canoes, Casinos, Computers and Birch Bark Baskets (1997).” (via The Duluth News Tribune)
