For Joey Awonohopay, storytelling is in his blood.
Awonohopay, who serves his Menominee community as a tribal legislator and director of language and culture, continues a tradition going back generations when he tells the stories of his people, whether it’s to his grandchildren or on a larger stage to fellow tribal members and visitors. Alternating seamlessly between his ancestral language and English, Awonohopay captivates audiences with the stories that have been passed down by tribal members for generations.
