T-Bear volunteers for an unknown task to avoid decorating the community rink for the Wapos Bay Remembrance Day ceremony. He is to deliver the Remembrance Day tribute speech that will be broadcast on Wapos Bay Aboriginal Radio and on APTN. The enormity of the task sinks in as he prepares gifts of fabric and sweetgrass for the interviews with his Mushom (grandfather) and the Wapos Bay elders. T-Bear is impressed with their historical Canadian military efforts and the use of the Cree language for secret missions, and he gains new understanding of the words “Lest We Forget.” Meanwhile, Raven explores the meaning of “appreciation” when her own gestures of gratitude to a departing teacher are mis-understood. Kohkum says, “Truth depends on our point of view.”
Wapos Bay kids love adventure. And their playground is a vast area that has been home to their Cree ancestors for millennia. At Wapos Bay , modern life and ancient traditions collide. Hunting, foraging, dog sledding and the shimmering Northern Lights are part of everyday life, but so are video games, television and cell phones. Guided by the elders, the extended family's insatiable curiosity and the three children learn to balance traditional methods with new ones.
Wapos Bay is a stop-motion animation series that follows the adventures of 3 kids from a Cree community in northern Saskatchewan.
