Episode 2 of Eminazhichiget

Episode 2 of Eminazhichiget features part 2 of our conversation with Mark Wilson, Mayor Pro Tem of Traverse City and owner of New Leonard Media.

Mark reflects on how growing up in a tribal community with a deep value of taking care of each other has shaped his views on family, politics, and the current housing crisis in Traverse City. He also shares about his hopes for his Mayor Pro Tem role, exciting current projects from New Leonard Media, and a powerful message for elders and youth within his community.

Eminazhichiget, which translates in Anishinaabemowin to “person who does good things for others,” is a new program and podcast from Title Track which celebrates Anishinaabek leaders.
