Talon and his father are planning an exciting trip to the trapline with mushom (grandfather). Talon negotiates time off from school, promising to do extra schoolwork because he understands how important it is to learn from his elders. Mushom’s stories of going to his trapline with his dog team inspire Talon for his creative writing assignment. T-Bear, however tries to avoid the tasks that mushom assigns him. While preparing for the trip everyone learns what taking care of things really means.

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.
