Michael Charette, also known as Laughing Fox, with the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa shares his people’s history through story and music during his presentation for the 2024 Fort McCoy Native American Heritage Month observance Nov. 19, 2024, at Fort McCoy, Wis. Charette’s home, the Red Cliff Reservation, “hugs the northeastern shoreline of the Bayfield Peninsula, nestled between Cornucopia and Bayfield (Wis.) overlooking the Apostle Islands in northern Wisconsin,” states the tribe’s website at https://www.redcliff-nsn.gov. Charette’s performance lasted nearly an hour, and he was dressed in his native clothing to enhance the performance. (U.S. Army Video by Scott T. Sturkol/Fort McCoy Public Affairs Office)
