A story about the power of friendship and co-operation. In the time before there were people on Turtle Island (North America), the Creator put the shape-shifter Wesakechak on the earth to take care of all the creatures. This makes Machias, a bad spirit, very envious and angry. The power of friendship and co-operation is the theme in this spring story. Wesakechak must overcome the envy and anger of the bad spirit, Machias, who intends to drown him in the First Spring Flood. His friends Jackfish, Goose and Beaver cooperate to save him from the jealous bully.

Introduced by the Seventh Fire Prophecy told by Wawahtehsey from The Chippewas of Georgina Island, ‘Stories from the Seventh Fire’, retells traditional Cree stories. In ‘Tales of Wesakechak’, storyteller Gordon Tootoosis and animation based on artwork by Norval Morrisseau brings them to life. These videos celebrate the beauty, bounty, and vulnerability of Mother Earth, and inspire viewers to live in harmony with Mother Earth.
