Michael “Laughing Fox” Charette

On Thursday, March 12, at 7 p.m., Michael “Laughing Fox” Charette will perform at Door Community Auditorium (DCA). This public performance will come at the end of a four-day residency during which Laughing Fox will work with Gibraltar School students.

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 American flute player, he enhances his stories with hauntingly beautiful music. Growing up surrounded by the pristine beauty of the Apostle Islands and Lake Superior led Laughing Fox to dedicate his gifts as an artist to educating audiences about Native American history, culture, and ways of life. A remarkable artist whose work is grounded in the traditional teachings of the Anishinaabe people, Laughing Fox captivates audiences with his authentic, relaxed style.

The Circle called Laughing Fox’s work “a spirit-lifting joy.”
