Talon notices that T-Bear is distracted from learning traditional skills by video games and television. Talon talks to his mushom (grandfather), and Raven suggests a “Survival” experience for T-Bear to learn to value traditions. Mushom likes the idea and the family raises money to support an Elders and Youth Winter Cultural Camp. When a sudden snowstorm hits and T-Bear’s shortcuts lead to their radio, generator and ATV breaking down, they are stranded. Mushom leaves for help, and the kids must prove their resourcefulness and survival skills. T-Bear’s knowledge of electronics gets them home safely. Their journey to Elders' Island teaches them that taking shortcuts is best avoided.
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.
