On today’s show, we talk with Darek DeLille (Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa/Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa), Artistic Producer at New Native Theatre, community organizer, musician and audio artist. Darek now lives in Southeast Minneapolis after living on Fond du Lac for many years.
Darek considers himself the “Anishinaabe army knife” who is always ready to learn and expand his knowledge while uplifting the people around him. Recently, Darek has started producing audio plays with New Native Theatre, managing the Four Sisters Farmers Market in Minneapolis and helping to organize the inaugural Two Spirit Pow Wow in Minneapolis.
We loved hearing about Darek’s love for community and his wisdom about life. Miigwech Darek DeLille!
