We have a special guest today on Stay Human. We’re celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day with Michael Laughing Fox Charette, an internationally known storyteller and musician. A member of the Red Cliff Band, Michael met up with us at the studios of WOJB-FM to play some of his hand-made flutes and tell the stories that go with them. Spirit and courage, today on Stay Human.

The hummingbirds have all flown south, by now most of them gathered at the Gulf before taking that one long flight to their winter grounds.
