Star Tribune: Roots take on a deeper meaning for Nora Murphy
Roots take on a deeper meaning for Nora Murphy when she gets a job at the Minneapolis American Indian Center. As she makes more Native American friends, the great-great-granddaughter of Irish immigrants becomes more self-conscious.
How did her forebears come to own that stand of sugar maples in Stearns County? Who owned it before? What happened to them?
Her questions started a quest that has occupied Murphy for 20 years and challenged all her assumptions about her place in this country.
