On a hill above the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, Fort Brady stood guard for more than a century. It never became a battlefield. It rarely made national headlines. Yet for decades, it shaped the lives of soldiers and the community around it.In this episode of The End of the Road in Michigan, we step into the years between wars — when Fort Brady functioned less like a combat outpost and more like a northern town in uniform. Soldiers drilled at dawn, shoveled heavy snow in winter, played baseball in summer, and performed in post bands that echoed across Ashmun Hill.We examine how routine shaped readiness. How winter training prepared troops for global conflict. And how the fort's steady presence supported Sault Ste. Marie survived the Great Depression and World War II.When the Army closed Fort Brady in 1944, its buildings did not fall silent. They became classrooms and dormitories, forming the foundation of what is now Lake Superior State University. This episode explores a different kind of military story — one defined by patience, discipline, community, and endurance in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.The End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind PublicationsThis episode includes AI-generated content.

We've all waited in an online queue to get a table at a busy restaurant or buy concert tickets for our favourite big artist. But what about waiting to see a doctor at the emergency room? A hospital in Sault Ste. Marie, ON., is offering their patients just that --and staff say it's cut their patient wait times in half. We speak with Dr. Stephen Smith, an ER physician and the vice president of medical affairs at the Sault Area Hospital, who came up with the idea after a family vacation at Disneyworld.

This week Lisa and Cristina are joined by GCBS Season 9 finalist Ryan Gridzak for a reflective, honest conversation about his journey on the Great Canadian Baking Show and everything that came after. We talk about the application process, the reality of filming, and how much time has passed since stepping out of the tent, along with what it feels like to look back on the experience with perspective. Ryan shares what the show meant to him, in the connections formed; the confidence gained; and the once in a lifetime nature of being part of something so special.A steelworker from Sault Ste. Marie, Ryan may have seemed like an unexpected choice for the show, but week after week, his skill at baking and decorating surpassed all expectations. Ryan explains how much learning happens behind the scenes, from researching unfamiliar techniques to developing backup plans under pressure, and why surviving each week felt like its own victory. We talk about format dreams, technical challenges, favorite bakes, judging realities, and the limitations of television when it comes to showing the full scope of a baker's creativity.The conversation widens into life beyond the show, touching on parenting, family, and the huge support his wife and family gave him throughout his time preparing for and being on the show. This conversation about balancing ambition with family life, the joy of milestones, and how his relationship with baking continues to evolve, is a great start to a brand new Baking Scraps season.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss! Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today.1) Nextech3D.ai (CSE: NTAR) expands fast to meet enterprise event demand Nextech3D.ai is scaling its in-person event coverage from 20 to 35 major U.S. cities and launching 58 new “AI-ready” corporate experiences on its KraftyLab platform. Management says enterprise clients are asking for higher-quality, local “last-mile” delivery for hybrid workforces—while the company uses AI to automate logistics and recommendations to help scale efficiently. The big takeaway: more markets, more offerings, and a stronger push into Fortune 500 demand.2) Tartisan Nickel (CSE: TN) moves to restart work at Ontario's Sill Lake Silver Project Tartisan says it's preparing to re-activate exploration at its 100% owned Sill Lake Silver Project near Sault Ste. Marie, a former silver-lead producer. The company is compiling historic data and defining drill targets, anchored by a historic NI 43-101 estimate on the Main Vein totaling 458,333 oz of silver (Measured + Indicated) plus ~1.47M lbs lead and ~505k lbs zinc. Tartisan also plans to review additional vein trends, while clearly noting the figures are historic and not current resources until verified and updated.3) AISIX Solutions (TSX-V: AISX) exits 2025 with rising commercial traction in wildfire intelligence AISIX reported accelerating momentum driven by product launches and insurer engagement. Highlights include new deals with RedZone and an S&P 500 insurance company, a renewed contract with Octo AI, and the rollout of Wildfire 3.0 plus the Climate Genius dashboard. Most importantly: AISIX has three pilot projects with global insurers—with Pilot 1 completed successfully (meeting all 7 evaluation criteria), Pilot 2 nearing completion, and Pilot 3 onboarding now. The story here is simple: real-world testing is underway, with potential contract conversions ahead.4) Goliath Resources (TSX-V: GOT) keeps stacking high-grade gold hits at Surebet Goliath released gold-only assays from the final 70 holes of its 2025 program at the Surebet Discovery in B.C.'s Golden Triangle, highlighting 19.13 g/t Au over 6.10m and 10.58 g/t Au over 8.30m, among other strong intervals across multiple zones. The company says drilling expanded mineralization across 5 main zones and 46 lodes, all still open, and reports a 100% hit rate for gold mineralization to date at Surebet. A key near-term catalyst remains: AuEq results are pending for 110 additional 2025 holes, and the company says it is fully funded for 2026 drilling to keep expanding and pursue a potential “Motherlode” source.5) GoGold Resources (TSX: GGD) posts solid Parral output and highlights $245M USD cash balance GoGold reported Q1 2026 Parral production of 456,179 silver-equivalent ounces, including 205,104 oz silver, 2,914 oz gold, 96 tonnes copper, and 150 tonnes zinc. Management pointed to record cash flows and noted gold production rose about 8% quarter-over-quarter, while silver slipped about 3%. GoGold also emphasized a strong balance sheet with $245M USD in cash, and said it's advancing engineering and preparing to order long-lead items as it awaits the final environmental permit at Los Ricos South. The signal to investors: cash strength + operating performance + build-readiness.Want more fast, no-fluff small-cap updates like this?

State House Speaker Matt Hall's move to cancel $645 million in already-approved state funding is the political equivalent of a rug pull, and it has real consequences for projects and people across Michigan. This episode digs into what happened, why it matters, and what comes next for cities, nonprofits, and everyday Michiganders. This wasn't theoretical money on a spreadsheet. It hit projects that were already underway with contracts signed and local dollars already spent on the promise of state reimbursement. The cuts touch everything from Motown Museum improvements and the BAMF Cancer Center in Detroit to an emergency shelter in Sault Ste. Marie, RX Kids cash support for new parents, police infrastructure in Dearborn, Detroit Zoo funding, and Detroit's right-to-counsel program. To break down the facts, impacts, what could be next and what you could do about it is Steve Watson. He is a Partner and COO at Watson and Yates, a consulting firm here in Detroit that serves public sector and non-profit clients.  He knows his stuff. Formerly, Steve was budget director for the city of Detroit. His post, "Speaker Hall's How the Grinch Stole Christmas" took what I had seen in other outlets to another level with his in-depth understanding and I knew I just had to talk to him. https://watsonyates.substack.com/p/speaker-halls-how-the-grinch-stole Support the show on Patreon, get stickers: https://www.patreon.com/c/DailyDetroit Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-detroit/id1220563942  Or Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Yhv8nSylVWxlZilRhi4X9?si=df538dae2e144431  

After years of discussions, Taos, N.M. decided to remove Kit Carson's name from a widely used park in the center of town. Carson's renown as a Western frontiersman grew from greatly exaggerated tales in pulp novels and newspaper articles. Only later did his violent exploits against Navajos and other tribes emerge. He was among the main figures in the Long Walk, the forced march of 10,000 captive Navajos. More than a third of them died. In Michigan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers removed a Washington Monument-style obelisk commemorating the construction of shipping locks on Lake Michigan. The obelisk sat atop the remainder of a burial ground. Lock construction destroyed the main part of the sacred area but the Bay Mills Indian Community and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians continue to hold ceremonies there. We'll talk with tribal advocates about their years-long work to change how their histories are viewed by the public. GUESTS Jeremy Lujan (Taos Pueblo), Taos Pueblo tribal secretary Jesse Winters (Taos Pueblo), Taos Pueblo second sheriff Dr. Gregorio Gonzales (Comanche and Genizaro), tribal historic preservation officer for the Pueblo of Cochiti Paula Carrick (Bay Mills Indian Community), tribal historic preservation officer for Bay Mills Indian Community Break 1 Music: Take Your Troubles to the River (song) Vincent Craig (artist) Self-titled Release (album) Break 2 Music: She Raised Us (song) Joanne Shenandoah (artist) LifeGivers (album)

Cuts in grants and operating funds, federal staff reductions, and department disorganization - and the federal government shutdown - all took a toll on the work done by tribal museums this year. Tribal museums are a source of economic development for many tribes, but more than that they offer an authentic and more comprehensive picture of Native culture and history than their non-Native counterparts. As Tribal Museums Week gets underway, we'll check in with tribal museums about their work and what they hope to accomplish in the current unpredictable environment for so many cultural institutions. GUESTS CC Hovie (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), public affairs and communications director for the Association on American Indian Affairs Janine Ledford (Makah), executive director of the Makah Museum Selena Ortega Chiolero (Tarahumara), museum specialist for the Chickaloon Village Traditional Council's Culture and Historic Preservation Department Stacy Laravie (Ponca), Indigenization director for the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers

Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R-AK) predicts many of the more than 2,000 people uprooted by historically damaging storms may not be able to return to their villages for more than a year and a half. In at least one village, officials say 90% of the residences are destroyed – and, as their lives are suddenly and drastically changed, the mostly Alaska Native inhabitants of the hardest-hit areas face the possibility of increasingly severe weather as the climate changes. We'll get updates on the current efforts to provide relief and assess the long-term options for the people who have always lived there. We'll also hear about how a new influx of $15 million in federal money over the next five years will help the StrongHearts Native Helpline, which provides culturally specific outreach for Native domestic violence survivors. The money comes at a time when the federal government is cutting back and eliminating staff for many other social programs. GUESTS Walter Nelson (Yup'ik), managed retreat coordinator for Village of Napakiak Lori Jump (Sault Ste. Marie Band of Chippewa Indians), CEO of StrongHearts Native Helpline Taylar Sausen, director of communications for American Red Cross of Alaska Rick Thoman, Alaska climate specialist with the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Eric Stone, state government reporter for Alaska Public Media

Hear about a road trip across the North Shore of Lake Superior as the Amateur Traveler talks to David Adler about an area that he fell in love with through a summer camp. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠here. Why should you drive this road trip? David says, "I think what makes it really unique is that it's a place that no one really knows about. I think it stands as one of the most beautiful spots in the world that I've ever seen. The nature there is really untouched. You'll be driving, and there'll be signs that say no gas for 150 kilometers. It's very remote." David recommended road trip itinerary along the North Shore of Lake Superior (as described in the podcast transcript) begins in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and ends in Thunder Bay, following Highway 17, part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour. Here's the detailed route he outlines: Overview Route: Sault Ste. Marie → Wawa → Marathon → Thunder Bay Highway: Ontario Highway 17 (Trans-Canada Highway) Distance: ~700 km (435 mi) Duration: 5–7 days recommended Best season: Summer (May – September) ... https://amateurtraveler.com/north-shore-of-lake-superior/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been almost a full century since Ojibwe hockey player Taffy Abel first set foot on the ice as a New York Rangers defenseman. It was a historic moment that was not acknowledged at the time in the professional hockey world or even by Abel himself. At the time, he kept his Native American identity a secret — at first to escape the forced attendance at Indian Boarding Schools, then later to avoid the discrimination that could hinder his career. Now, his descendants want him recognized, after the fact, as the man who broke the pro hockey color barrier. Abel carried the American flag in the first Winter Olympics in 1924. He went on to help both the Rangers and the Chicago Blackhawks win Stanley Cup championships. GUESTS Aaron Payment (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), tribal councilman and former chairperson for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota), 1964 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Charles Fox, regular contributor to Indian Country Today and former staff photographer for 38 years at The Philadelphia Inquirer George Jones, retired economist and Indigenous hockey historian

What happens when eyewitnesses from four corners of the continent come forward in one episode — each describing the same impossible creature?In this special compilation, Jeremiah Byron of the Bigfoot Society Podcast sits down with ordinary people who have seen the extraordinary. It begins in Lane County, Oregon, where Terri locks eyes with a towering black figure near Fall Creek Reservoir. Rocks are thrown, whoops echo through the timber, and the silence that follows is worse than any sound.From there, we move east to Putnam County, West Virginia, where a man's dogs draw out juvenile Sasquatch that ride on their backs and mimic his voice from the woods. In Massachusetts and the Blue Ridge Mountains, a rider hears an unhuman scream that echoes through the night. And finally, in the wilderness north of Sault Ste. Marie, a traveler witnesses a blonde Sasquatch drinking from a waterfall — an image too real to forget.From Oregon's Cascades to Canada's canyons, these are the firsthand accounts that remind us: the forest is watching.

Payments to tribes for federal contracts, BIA law enforcement, food distribution to schools, and health care access could all be affected by the federal government shutdown. It also has a significant effect on the 30,000 Native American federal employees and members of the military who may not be furloughed, but will not receive paychecks until the shutdown is over. This is the second government shutdown in the past decade; the previous one was the longest on record. We'll get the Native perspective on what's potentially in store as the shutdown progresses. GUESTS Aaron Payment (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), tribal councilman and former chairperson for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians A.C. Locklear (Lumbee), CEO of the National Indian Health Board Mike Stopp (Cherokee and Muscogee), president and CEO of SevenStar Holdings, LLC Sue Parton (Kiowa), President of the Federation of Indian Service Employees

Among the informational signs flagged for review under the Trump administration's purge of “improper ideology” at National Parks is language at the Sitka National Monument Russian Bishop's House explaining how missionaries worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and languages in Alaska. A panel at Florida's Castillo de San Marcos National Monument is being questioned for including text about forced assimilation of imprisoned Native Americans. They are part of the ongoing review of parks, museums, and other institutions for information deemed disparaging to Americans. The review has prompted considerable concern over who is making decisions about how historical events are portrayed and whether Native historians have any input. GUESTS Michaela Pavlat (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), Indigenous partnerships program manager for the National Parks Conservation Association Julie Reed (Cherokee), associate professor of history at the University of Tulsa Morning Star Gali (Pit River Tribe), executive director of Indigenous Justice and the California tribal and community liaison for the International Indian Treaty Council Kimberly Smith (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), community conservation specialist for The Wilderness Society

Lucy Smith just aged out of the foster care system but finds she needs to protect herself and her family against persistent threats from her past. She relies on the survival skills she's learned the hard way: a lack of trust in others and a readiness to run. Along the way she connects with her own Anishinaabe identity. “Sisters in the Wind” is the third mystery by author Angeline Boulley (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians). She weaves together themes of Indigenous identity, justice, and family through compelling characters and in a way that fans of her two previous novels, “Firekeeper's Daughter” and “Warrior Girl Unearthed”, will recognize. “Sisters in the Wind” is on our Native Bookshelf.

President Donald Trump is going to defend his tariff policy before the U.S. Supreme Court. Lower federal courts recently ruled that President Trump does not have the authority to impose tariffs under the national emergency powers. A new Pew Research Center poll found that 61% of Americans disapprove of his tariff policies. Businesses like Sisseton-Wahpeton fabric designer Denise Hill are faced with having to raise prices to make up for rising costs on goods from other countries. We'll get a reading on the effect tariffs have had on Native-owned businesses so far. GUESTS State Sen. Susan Webber (Blackfeet/D-MT [Browning]) Larry Chavis (Lumbee), economist and business school professor Jeff St. Louis (Sault Ste. Marie Band of Chippewa Indians), CEO and founder of Native Purchasing Group Denise Hill (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), owner of Family Affair
