Cultural Thursday Presents – Tales of Laughing Fox: Stories, culture, history and flute music of the Anishinaabe peoples.

Tales of Laughing Fox

Michael Laughing Fox Charette is a Native American storyteller, poet, and member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (located in Northern Wisconsin). As a self-taught Native flute player he enhances his stories with hauntingly beautiful flute and storytelling performance. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of Lake Superior and the woods led him to dedicate his gifts as an artist to gently teaching about Indigenous history, culture, and spirituality. His work as both a visual and performance artist is varied and tied together by the traditional wisdom of the Anishinaabe people, which is respectfully incorporated into his work. Michael captivates audiences with his authentic, relaxed style. Michael’s presentation will consist of stories, culture, history and music of the Anishinaabe peoples. With over 20 flutes in his collection each with their own story, voice and song. Michael Laughing Fox Charette weaves traditional storytelling with his own experiences.
