Natanis asks Mooshum about where we get food. He tells her how his mom always planted a garden and drums a song his mother played while they picked berries. Natanis learns words about her favourite foods: food (michiwin); garden (kistikan); potato (napatakawah); blueberry (itinimina); cranberry (wisakimina); mushrooms(waskwecos); carrots (oskataskwak); meat (wayas); bannok (pahkwesikan); and meal (miichisonaan).
This is one episode of the 10-part Stories of the North Series that tells simple Indigenous stories in a fun and positive manner. The series is set in a northern cabin where Mooshum teaches his granddaughters Cree words through traditional stories, merging education with Indigenous language development interactively and authentically.
