Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr., in conversation on his new novel The El (Vintage Books, 2025). A love letter to our city of Chicago, The El follows a group of teen gang members in August 1979 as they travel across the city to a summit where gangs plan to join forces. But the reality is less like the movie The Warriors and more like the creation of a corporate structure, and leader Teddy—a devoted reader and the only Indigenous member of the gang—has to rely on his book smarts, street smarts, and the guiding spirit of Coyote to find a way to their next destination. Van Alst Jr. is also the author of a stunning trilogy of “mosaic novels” of linked short stories, also starring his semi-autobiographical character Teddy: Sacred Smokes (2018), Sacred City (2021), and Sacred Folks (2024). In our conversation, we learn how the author's depiction of Teddy evolved to include more and more voices, and how literature can help us recover the past, see the future, and appreciate the “magic light.” Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. (enrolled member, Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians) is the co-editor of Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology (Vintage). He is the award-winning author of the trilogy Sacred Smokes, Sacred City, and Sacred Folks as well as the editor of The Faster Redder Road: The Best UnAmerican Stories of Stephen Graham Jones (2015), all from the University of New Mexico Press. His novella Pour One for the Devil: A Gothic Novella was published in 2024 from Lanternfish Press. You can check out titles by Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. here at the Library as part of our Podcast Collection, featuring books and other materials by past guests of the show. Find out more about Ted on his website or his Instagram @TVAyyyy. We hope you enjoy our 68th interview episode! Each month (or so), we release an episode featuring a conversation with an author, artist, or other notable guests from Chicagoland or around the world.

Pleasant community, and this year will be reflected on the Chippewa's football uniforms. Coach also gives a shout-out to the Chip's of 1974, who were National Champs.Some people were clearly designed for thier careers, Gonzo is one, Marcie Otteman, Deputy Chief of Alumni and Constituent Engagement is another.

Today, we're excited to chat with Heid E. Erdrich. Heid is an author, researcher, educator, curator and member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. In 2024, she was the inaugural Minneapolis Poet Laureate and, in 2025, she served as the James and Lois Welch Distinguished Native American Visiting Writer at the University of Montana – Missoula. Her recent books are Boundless: Abundance in Native American Art and Literature, which she co-edited, and Verb Animate: Poems, Prose and Prompts from Collaborative Acts. In our discussion, she examines her fascination with researching family history and with tracing the ancestral migrations that brought her to where she is now. A frequent collaborator, she talks about the power of working alongside literary and visual artists and how one of those partnerships inspired a unique synchronicity involving pink dolphins. Heid also shares her “best bad habit” and her take on the greatest gift anyone can give a creative artist.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood

CBS Detroit reports that Stalions did not reach out to Central Michigan to attend their game vs. Michigan State in 2023; instead, CMU requested Stalions' help, saying that former head coach Jim McElwain was “likely aware of and approved” the arrangement to secure Stalions a sideline credential and outfit him in CMU-issued gear So, if this is right, CMU requested Stalions for that game to help with winning that game specifically, while also knowing it would help him at Michigan when they were to play the Spartans later in the year Our Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Public defenders working in the federal system representing indigent defendants aren't getting paid. The federal government ran out of money, as my colleague April Baumgarten reported recently. That's a big problem. Every American accused of a crime has a right to counsel, and while you might think that public defenders are just for poor people, they actually represent most people accused of a crime. In North Dakota, the precentage of criminal defendants represented by a public defender is north of 80%. In the federal system, nationwide, it's around 90% Jason Tupman said on this episode of Plain Talk. Tupman is the top federal public defender for the North Dakota and South Dakota district (full disclosure: my sister works as an investigator for Tupman's office). "There will be consequences," he said of this lack of funding. "I think they are not just short-term, either." The federal employees in Tupman's offices cover about 2/3's of the cases in North and South Dakota, with the rest going to private sector attorneys who participate in what's called the Criminal Justice Act Panel. Right now, those panel lawyers won't be getting a check until October 1, though given the chaos in Washington D.C. right now, there's not a lot that's certain. Tupman, and Mark Friese, a prominent defense attorney from the Vogel Law Firm who is a representative on the CJA Panel, say that lawyers are beginning to turn down these cases. That means delays in the criminal justice process for defendants, which in turn means more costs associated with things like pre-trial detention. Also, it may also mean that they're assigned by lawyers from other areas, who may struggle to provide adequate counsel, which in turn may result in more appeals and procedural delays. We are currently having a rollicking debate about the federal debt and deficits, but delays or cuts in funding for federal public defenders could actually end up costing the taxpayers more. Tupman points out that the work of his office isn't political. "This office and this panel has represented George Floyd protesters and they have represented January 6 defendants," he said. "This is a non-political group...who represent individuals, treat them with dignity, and do so every day pretty quietly. To not pay them for the work they've already done can be crippling. Crippling to them and crippling to our future functioning." Friese, meanwhile, pointed out that even when the feds are paying the bills, they're far below what private sector attorneys can otherwise earn. "A lot of your listeners are going to say, $175 an hour, that's crazy," he said referring to the rate at which panel attorneys are compensated. "That's less than half the market rate. That's less than half the prevailing rate if you were to come to me in my private practice to hire me for representation." "When I take my car in the mechanic shop, the prevailing rate in in North Dakota is 150 bucks an hour," he continued. "So, we're paid $25 more an hour than a mechanic shop, essentially." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I talk about my criticism of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa's lawsuit over redistricting (Chad thinks I'm full of it) and we also give some praise to the North Dakota Chamber of Commerce for their efforts to promote civics.

What happens when an 18-year-old woman steps into the forest to relieve herself — and locks eyes with a towering red-furred creature hiding behind a tree?In this terrifying and emotional episode, we sit down with Tamara Bond, a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Chippewa, as she recounts her unforgettable Bigfoot encounter deep in California's Marble Mountains. What began as a routine day with the California Conservation Corps turned into a moment that would haunt her dreams for decades.Tamara describes the chilling moment when a red-haired Sasquatch peered around a tree at her — again and again — before she fled screaming “Monster!”. We'll talk about what she saw in that face, why red Sasquatches are considered dangerous, and how that one moment eventually turned fear into fascination.You'll also hear about recent activity near Shasta Lake, rocks thrown from cliffs, and the spiritual sensitivity Tamara has lived with her whole life — including her ability to see spirits of the dead. This is a raw, vulnerable, and gripping account you won't forget.
We are living in tremendously uncertain times and this month's guest, artist Yvette Molina, reminds us through her expansive work of the relationship between justice and care. Yvette is Mexican-American of Chippewa of Turtle Mountain descent who is currently artist-in-residence at the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. Her collaborative exhibition, A PROMISE TO THE LEAVES, centers the four elements: earth, air, water, fire, and a fifth presence, the cosmos. By focusing on these ancient, essential forces, Molina invites us to remember that humans, plants, and all earthly beings are composed of star matter and sustained by the elements. Her work encourages us to understand care as inherently relational. Care for one another, human and non-human alike, is care for ourselves and all of creation.Yvette's artistic practice is rooted in community engagement and activism - through processional banners, ritual, storytelling, costumes, collage, painting, and sculpture. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Stockholm Fringe Festival, the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Arsenal Contemporary Art, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, NADA FAIR, and the Legion of Honor and de Young Museums in California. She currently lives and creates in Oakland, California.Nyá:wen to Indigenous Screen Office for supporting these important stories! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
