Hank Green is a creator and science communicator who desperately wants us to realize how bizarre and special we are. Every week he has a conversation with one of the eight billion weirdos living on planet Earth.
Chris La Tray is an Anishinaabe/Métis storyteller and Montana’s former poet laureate. He’s also a citizen of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indian. He and Hank talk about his memoir Becoming Little Shell, and what it’s like to realize you’re from a tribe not recognized by the U.S. government; how he was gifted a quest; why he despises being an American; and how convenience isn’t progress. Plus, the Ojibwe word for chickadee is probably the best thing you’ll hear all day.
