Native Lights is a weekly, half-hour radio program hosted by Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe members and siblings, Leah Lemm and Cole Premo. Native Lights is a space for people in Native communities around Mni Sota Mkoce -- a.k.a. Minnesota -- to tell their stories about finding their gifts and sharing them with the community.

On today’s show, we turn the microphone on each other!  No guest today… instead, we ask each other some questions about our own purpose and passions, starting with music.  Cole tells some stories about discovering his love for making music and the many mentors who helped him on his path.  Leah shares a sweet story of her first solo singing performance in kindergarten, and how she is passing her passion along to her son.

Most of all, we love hosting this podcast and getting the honor of amplifying Native Voices, meeting new people, and hearing how community members are uncovering their gifts and living their purpose.
