Wapos Bay
Wapos Bay is a fun and engaging series of stop-motion animations that follow the exploits of a group of Canadian kids who live in northern Saskatchewan. The films follow 10-year-old T-Bear, 9-year-old Talon and 6-year-old Raven as they learn about their Cree traditions and about each other with the guidance of the elders in their family and community. In these six episodes, and the seven soon to follow, Wapos Bay takes us through the seasonal phases of winter, spring thaw, spring, summer, fall and freeze-up as the children gain knowledge not only about their heritage, but also about respect, safety, peer pressure and independence.
