Mailey is a 12-year old girl from the Cree Nation of Chisasibi, but she lives in Montreal, Quebec. In her room, she shows us the special blanket her Great-Grandmother gave to her, and plays us a tune on her guitar – she's just learning! We meet her family and her two budgies – Neebin and Itchuuksh and then Mailey shows us how far away her home community of Chisasibi is. It takes two whole days to drive there! After Mailey and her sister explain a unique Cree tradition called the “walking-out ceremony", she and her friend Kay go skateboarding and practice volleyball – they are on the same team together! Finally, Mailey and her family visit a teepee in Kahnawake that urban Indigenous people in Montreal can go to for special occasions. There they show us how to make bannock over the fire and cook a goose in the traditional Sagabon way! Mailey’s special word is “kawiitahiitakuch” which means “joke” in the Cree language.
