Celebrate the rich culture, history, and spirit of the Anishinaabe in a musical theater experience that honors the Indigenous peoples of the Great Lakes region. Created by Michael “Laughing Fox” Charette and Severin Behnen with the help of local songwriters and storytellers, this poignant program brings together musicians, dancers, performers, and storytellers from numerous Ojibwe Bands of the Lake Superior Chippewa including Red Cliff, Bad River, Fond Du Lac, and Lac Courte Oreilles. Talented Indigenous artists share with us their rich oral tradition through songs and stories, while big screen visuals feature original artwork, beautiful photography, and historical images. Traditional and modern music merge with ancient storytelling while you journey through the legends, history, hardships and triumphs of the Ojibwe people.
This production is suited for students of all ages. “Wigwam Talks”, featuring the lead creative artist and co-writer of the show, Michael Laughing Fox Charette, will take place following the show in the wigwam built on the Big Top campus for students or schools who can participate.

A livestream (watch from anywhere) option is available for the performance on Thursday Sept 15th at 10:00am, to schools and/or classes who cannot attend the performance at our venue.
