The award-winning series, Stories from the Seventh Fire was inspired by a prophecy from an Ojibway elder who foretold of a time when we would seek out these stories and old teachings to reconnect with Mother Earth. The four half-hour episodes of Stories from the Seventh Fire are represented by the four seasons. Using animated characters, creatures, and landscapes based on the work of renowned Aboriginal artist Norval Morrisseau, the series features the voices of some of Canada’s best-loved Indigenous performers including Ashley Callingbull, Tantoo Cardinal and Gordon Tootoosis.
