(speaking Ojibwe language) Hello to all my relatives.
(speaking Ojibwe language) Laughing fox is what I'm called.
One of the things I do is cultural demonstrations.
I also make dreamcatchers.
And I do - like - wood burning on drift wood.
I transfer the patterns onto the wood.
This is one of the masks that, that I made.
This was like one of the first ones.
Some of the other things I do is m a flute player.
I carved out my first one and I couldn't get it to work.
And it took me a whole year to figure out how to get it to work And then after that I started to explore more.
I was up on stage playing flute I wanted it to look like the fox was actually playing the flute.
<flute> I spent the first couple years of my flute playing just in the woo woods learning to play.
Each flute has its own story.
Its own voice.
And as a flute player, you know, I kind of spend a lot of time with them in the woods and listening.
And playing them over and over again.
until I can figure out like the right the right notes and what the flute is trying to say.
or get out.
