[00:00:40]<b>What was that?</b> <i>Taanishi kiya</i>. How are you?

[00:00:43]<b>Well, I guess I'm doing fine.</b> <i>Boon matayn</i>. Good morning.

[00:00:50]<b>What do you feel like doing today?</b> <b>Well, I've got some new chalk</b> <b>we could play a giant game of tic-tac-toe.</b> <b>Great idea!</b> <b>Great, I'll get the chalk.</b> <b>Wait! Aren't we forgetting something?</b> Oh, <i>tapwe</i> Together: Our secret <i>koozin</i> handshake!

[00:01:12]Alright, <i>allon</i>.

[00:01:13]Henri: <i>Taanishi kiyawow</i>!

[00:01:16]Oh, <i>taanishi</i> Henry!

[00:01:18]Angelique, <i>mon amii</i> Henry <i>awa</i> <b>This is my friend, Henry.</b> <i>Taanishi</i> Henry. Angelique <i>nishakashoon</i>.

[00:01:27]<b>I'm Angelique.</b> <b>It's good to meet you, Angelique.</b> <b>Hey, where are you two going?</b> <b>Oh we were just gonna go play some tic-tac-toe.</b> Oh, I was gonna see if you wanted to come play with me in <i>le gran bwaa</i>.

I do like the forest.</b> Okay, <i>mon frère</i>, let's go!

[00:03:06]<b>You found me!</b> <b>Now where could Angelique be?</b> <b>- I don't know. - Okay, let's go.</b> <b>(shared laughter)</b> <b>Hey, found you!</b> <b>(forced laughter) Yeah, you did.</b> <b>Hey, hey, William do you remember the time that you hid here?</b> <b>Yeah, it took you forever to find me didn't it?</b> <b>(shared laughter)</b> <b>And it was only because you started making those strange noises.</b> <b>(William: strange animal noise)</b> <b>(laughter)</b> I thought there was some kind of a <i>lii zisprii</i> or like a sick animal or something.

[00:03:40]<b>I was worried you were going to run away</b> and I was gonna be hiding here <i>pour tou taan</i>!

[00:03:44]<b>(shared laughter)</b> <b>(Angelique) hey, hey, hey, William.</b> <b>Remember that time you were hiding and you got bit by a wasp?</b> <b>(crickets)</b> <b>That actually hurt quite a bit.</b> <b>Alright, well my turn to hide.</b> Alright, I'll be coming to get you <i>mon frère</i>.

[00:04:06]<b>(William: strange animal noise)</b> <b>(angry huff)</b> <b>Hey, what's wrong?</b> <b>It's nothing.</b> <b>It doesn't look like nothing.</b> <b>It's just I was looking forward to playing just the two of us</b> <b>then Henry comes around and you guys want to make super cool handshakes</b> <b>and talk about all the fun you have together, calling him man frier</b> <b>Man frier?</b> Oh, I think you mean <i>mon frère</i>.

[00:04:40]Yeah, <i>s'id valeur</i>. I'm sad.

[00:04:44]<b>It's not a nickname, it's --</b> <b>Henri: Hey! You guys coming?</b> <b>Oh, what's wrong?</b> <b>I don't think Angelique wants to play hide and seek anymore.</b> <b>Oh. Well, that's okay with me.</b> <b>What do you want to play instead?</b> <b>I don't know. Do you want to play tag?</b> <b>Sure, I'll play!</b> What do you say <i>mon frère</i>?

[00:05:07]Ready when you are, <i>mon frère</i>.

[00:05:10]<b>Argh! That does it!</b> <b>I've had it with all your nicknames and special games</b> <b>I don't want to play with you two anymore!</b> <b>I'm going to make special friends with...</b> <b>with...</b> <b>(leaves rustling)</b> <b>...this rock.</b> <b>It's my new best friend.</b> <b>Come along, man frier.</b> <i>Miina kaawaapaamatin, mo koozon</i>.

[00:05:45]<b>Goodbye cousin.</b> <b>♪sad music♪</b> <b>Would you like some tea to go with your bannock?</b> <b>Rock: Aye lass, tis a fine spread yea 'ave 'ere.</b> <b>(Bella Huffing)</b> Oh! <i>Taanishi kiya</i>, Angelique.

[00:06:08]<i>Taanishi</i>, Bella. <i>Keushte fay</i>?

[00:06:11]Oh, you know. Just playing catch with <i>moon namii</i>, Ermin. And you?

[00:06:17]<b>I am having some tea and bannock with my new best friend, Barney Stone.</b> Say <i>taanishi</i>, Barney.

[00:06:24]Rock: <i>Feasgar Math</i>!

[00:06:27]<b>...okay. Where's William?</b> <b>Argh. He’s busy with his new man frier, Henri.</b> <b>Would you like to come and play with us instead?</b> <b>Well, I dunno...</b> <b>You can bring that rock of yours.</b> <b>Hmm...</b> <b>(quiet whispering)</b> <i>Si kwaarak</i>, we’ll come.

[00:06:48]<b>(Ermin huffing noises)</b> <b>Oh there you are, Bella.</b> <b>I was just talking to Angelique. She’s going to come play with us too.</b> <b>You know what they say: the more the harrier!</b> <b>Or maybe that’s just a weasel thing.</b> <i>Astam</i>! Let’s go!

[00:07:06]Right away, <i>mon frère</i>.

[00:07:10]<b>Don’t tell me you two are man friers too!</b> <b>Oh no!</b> <b>What’s wrong?</b> <b>I didn’t want to play with William and his friend Henri because all they wanted to do</b> <b>was call each other fun nicknames and talk about all the fun they have together</b> <b>and did I mention the fun nicknames because I don't know if I did.</b> <b>Oh, I understand. You felt like you were being left out, right?</b> <b>It’s not that I don’t want Henri to come play with us</b> <b>but when they use their special nicknames, I feel left out.</b> <b>Oh, Angelique.</b> <b>It's okay to feel sad, but just because your best friend is having fun with</b> <b>someone else, doesn't make him any less of your friend.</b> <b>It doesn't?</b> <b>Of course not! Us weasels have tons of friends!</b> <b>But what about that nickname you all use for each other, man frier?</b> <b>(Bella chuckling)</b> I think you mean <i>mon frère</i>.

[00:08:15]Yeah. Why can’t I be someone’s <i>mon frère</i>?

[00:08:19]<b>Well, that’s because it means "my brother".</b> <b>But William and Henri aren’t brother and neither are you and Ermin.</b> <b>That's true.</b> <b>Bella: That's because a long time ago</b> <b>the Métis people used to live in small communities.</b> <b>Everyone need to work together and help each other.</b> <b>You would have big families</b> <b>not just parents, brother and sisters</b> <b>but also cousins, grandparents and even friends.</b> <b>So if you had friend who was a boy and you were really close</b> you think of him like a brother and call him <i>mon frère</i>.

[00:09:03]Bella: So you see, when William calls his friend Henri <i>mon frère</i> <b>it's just his way of showing him how much he cares about him.</b> <b>But how do I know if William cares about me?</b> <b>Oh, I'm sure William lets you know in his own kind of way.</b> <b>Angelique: Hmm...</b> <b>♪reflective music♪</b> <b>You're right. Gee, I feel a little silly now.</b> <b>I hope William and Henri are okay that I ran off.</b> <b>I'm sure they're okay. Did you still want to play catch with us?</b> <b>I have an even better idea.</b> <b>(Sigh)</b> <b>Tag, you are it.</b> <b>No. You are the one who is it.</b> <b>William! Henri!</b> Angelique! You’re back. <i>Tu bayn</i>?

[00:10:04]<i>Oui</i>, I'm feeling better.

[00:10:06]<b>I 'm sorry I ran away like that.</b> I understand now why Henri is your <i>frère</i> and <i>si bonn</i>.

[00:10:12]<b>You do?</b> <b>Um-hmm.</b> <b>It's nice to have good friends.</b> <b>People you call family, even when you aren't really related.</b> <b>That's right!</b> Henri might be <i>mon frère</i> but you are still my number one <i>koozon</i>.

[00:10:27]<b>(Angelique gentle laughter)</b> <b>Having lots of friends just means you have more people you can play with.</b> <b>Speaking of...</b> <b>I hope you don't mind</b> <b>but I brought even more friends to play the most epic game of hide and seek ever!</b> <b>(shared laughter)</b> <b>Alright, I'll count first.</b> <i>hen, deu, traw</i> <b>one, two, three</b> <b>ready or not, here I come!</b> <b>William: (strange noise)</b> <b>Angelique: William, I can hear you!</b> <i>Taanishi, taanishi</i>!

[00:15:28]<b>What do you mean?</b> <b>Oh no! My berries. They're all gone.</b> <b>It looks like the birds ate them all.</b> <b>This is terrible!</b> I’m sorry, <i>koozon</i>.

[00:15:44]<b>Maybe you could try making a different kind of jam?</b> <b>But I’m not Angelique the different kind of jam maker</b> I'm Angelique <i>il pwaer</i> berry jam maker.

[00:17:57]<b>(sigh) You're right.</b> <b>I don’t know what I was thinking.</b> <b>We’ll never finish those one hundred jars now.</b> <i>Wah</i>, is there anything else we can do?

[00:18:59]<b>There’s a big problem.</b> <b>The birds ate all the berries and now I can’t make you anymore jam.</b> <i>Nisitohten</i>. I understand.

[00:19:11]<b>I guess I’m not a real Oti-what's-a-ma-called again?</b> <i>Otipemisiwak</i> <b>Oh, Angelique. I’m sorry to hear about that.</b> <b>But you know, sometimes things change and we can either give up or change with them.</b> That’s what being a real <i>Otipemisiwak</i> is all about.

[00:19:34]<i>Tapwe</i>?

[00:19:35]<b>That's right, you see...</b> <b>Mme. Buffloo: Long ago, your Métis ancestors started out in the fur trade</b> <b>exchanging animal furs for other goods.</b> Their Cree relatives called them <i>Otipemisiwak</i> which means <b>"people who are their own boss".</b> <b>But then, things started to change.</b> <b>The animals started disappearing and with it, the Métis way of life.</b> <b>Now, did your ancestors give up?</b> No! They were <i>Otipemisiwak</i> and they changed too.

[00:20:11]<b>Many started farming, or moved to towns where they started their own businesses.</b> <b>It was hard work, but your ancestors took control of their future.</b> <b>So you see, sometimes your world changes</b> and you need to step back, step up and be a real <i>Otipemisiwak</i>.

[00:20:33]A real <i>Otipemisiwak</i>.

[00:20:37]<b>What do you think I should do?</b> <b>Look inside yourself and find something that inspires you.</b> <b>Oh!

[00:21:28]Ah, <i>taanishi kiya</i>!

[00:21:30]<b>Glad to see that you're feeling better.</b> <b>What is it that you wanted to show us?</b> <i>Cheeshkwa</i>! In a minute.

[00:21:36]<b>I’m just waiting for the guest of honour.</b> <i>Taanshi</i>, Mme. Buffloo!

[00:21:45]Well, <i>bonn apray mijii</i>, children.

[00:21:48]<b>Angelique, you said you had a very important announcement?</b> <b>Mmm-hmm.

[00:22:28]Hey, congrats, <i>koozon</i>.

[00:22:30]<b>Yeah, good job!</b> <i>Maarsi</i>! And <i>maarsi</i> to you Mme. Buffloo.

[00:22:37]<b>Sometimes things change and if we want to succeed</b> <b>we need to change as well.</b> <b>If I can’t be Angelique the jam maker</b> <b>maybe I can be Angelique the basket maker.</b> <b>Well said, Angelique!</b> You really are a real <i>Otipemisiwak</i>.

[00:29:27]<b>Well, we were all playing pirates in the park</b> <b>but we couldn’t agree on anything</b> <b>and got into a big fight and now everyone is mad at each other.</b> Even worse, I told Angelique she was a bad <i>koozon</i>.

[00:29:58]<i>Wahkohtowin</i>? <i>Kaykwy</i>? What is it?

[00:30:01]Well, it’s a word they borrowed from their Cree <i>lii koozons</i>.

[00:30:05]<b>It means "kinship" but it’s much more than that.</b> <b>Lou: You see, a long time ago</b> <b>Métis people had to get along with many different people.</b> <b>Now, did they get into disagreements with one another?</b> <b>You bet they did!</b> But through <i>Wahkohtowin</i> <b>they learned that they had to treat everyone with respect</b> <b>because we're all connected.</b> <b>Métis people changed. Many of them moved away</b> <b>and they even started speaking different languages</b> <b>but you know what? They are still family.</b> So you see, think about <i>Wahkotowin</i> and how you can be a good relative to your <i>koozon</i>.

[00:30:56]<b>Be a good relative.</b> <b>How do I start?</b> <b>That's up to you, William</b> <b>(splashing)</b> <b>Whoa! (chuckling)</b> <b>think about what you would like</b> <b>if you were in Angelique’s position.</b> Okay. <i>Maarsi</i> Lou.

[00:41:44]Well, I’ve been playing <i>la v’yalon</i> for most of my life now.

[00:41:47]But the story of <i>la v’yalon</i> goes back much further than that.

[00:41:53]<b>Lou: A very long time ago, fur traders from Europe</b> brought over <i>la v’yalon</i> with them.

[00:42:00]<b>When the first Métis communities started they</b> <b>kept playing the instruments of their forefathers.</b> <i>La v’yalon</i> was very important to the Métis.

[00:42:10]<b>Families would gather in their homes</b> <b>move all the furniture</b> and dance the night away to the music of <i>la v’yalon</i>.

[00:42:31]<b>♪ Fiddle music ♪</b> <b>(laughter)</b> <b>Hey, this is working!</b> <b>It works with my dance.</b> <b>Well of course it does!</b> <i>La v’yalon</i> has always gone together with the jig.

[00:42:55]<b>The jig? What's a jig?</b> <b>That dance of yours.</b> <b>Your ancestors have been doing it for hundreds of years.</b> Like the music of <i>la v’yalon</i> <b>they took dances from all their ancestors</b> including their Cree <i>li koozon</i> <b>and put the best parts together to make the jig.</b> <b>Oh, I thought I had invented it.</b> <b>Well, everybody puts their own spin on it.</b> <b>Now tell me, why all this interest?</b> <b>I came up with it for a dance competition</b> <b>but I didn't have the right music for it.</b> <b>You mean Mme.

[00:52:53]<b>Oh, William.</b> <b>It’s dangerous to be alone in the cold dressed like this.</b> <b>Well, I was playing with Angelique but</b> <b>she left and said we couldn’t do everything we had planned</b> <b>but I just want to play outside.</b> <b>You can still have fun outside, William.</b> You just need to pay attention to <i>Tipiskaw Pisim</i>.

[00:53:16]What’s <i>tipiskwa pisim</i>?

[00:53:19]<b>Look up in the sky.</b> That’s <i>tipiskaw pisim</i>.

[00:53:27]<b>The moon?</b> <i>Tapwe</i> <b>Or, as your ancestors called it: the night sun.</b> <i>Ttipiskaw pisim</i>.

[00:53:39]<b>Lou: A long time ago, before your ancestors had calendars</b> they would track the changes of <i>tipiskaw pisim</i>.

[00:53:48]Each cycle of <i>tipiskaw pisim</i> had its own name.

[00:53:51]<b>The egg hatching moon told them that spring had come</b> <b>while later in the year, the freezing up moon</b> <b>meant that winter was coming.</b> <b>I know you like the warm weather</b> <b>but the winter moons can also be a fun time.</b> <b>They’ve always been a time when families could come together</b> <b>share stories, music and the warmth of a fire.</b> <b>Things can’t stay the same forever</b> but if you pay attention to <i>tipiskaw pisim</i> <b>I’m sure you can find lots of fun things to do</b> <b>no matter what time of year it is.</b> <b>Yeah, you're right.</b> <b>I don’t know why I got hung up on all the warm weather stuff.</b> <b>I like winter too!</b> <b>There’s skating, and tobogganing</b> <b>Oh! And telling spooky stories by the fire.</b> <b>See?</b> <b>Now, why don’t we pack all this up for next year and</b> <b>you head home to get yourself a hat and pair of mitts on.</b> <b>Umm...just give me a minute though.</b> <i>Taanayhki</i>?

[00:54:55]<b>I can’t feel my butt.</b> <b>(laughter)</b> <i>Taanishi, koozon</i>.

[00:55:08]<i>Wah</i>! William, you look dressed for the weather.

[00:55:13]<b>I know.</b> <b>I’m sorry I was being so stubborn.</b> <b>I just like the warm weather so much, I couldn’t let it go.</b> <i>Je regre</i>, William. I know you had big plans.

[00:55:23]<b>It’s okay!</b> I thought about it, and just like <i>tipiskaw pisim</i> changes <b>I can change too.</b> <i>Tapwe</i>?

[00:55:32]<b>I mean, what other time of year can you build a snow fort?</b> <b>Or skate on a frozen pond?</b> <b>And what better time is there to cozy up to a warm fire</b> <b>and have lots of tasty snacks --</b> <b>Did someone say snacks?</b> <b>Still hungry, Ermin?</b> <b>Oh, no.</b> <b>In fact, I don’t think I want to eat anything again until</b> <b>hatching moon.</b> <b>Ohhh....</b> <b>That’s too bad, because I was going to invite you both over</b> for some spooky <i>rougarou</i> stories <b>and stuff ourselves with bannock and jam!</b> <b>Did you say bannock and jam?</b> <i>Oui</i> <b>Well, I guess I have a little room left.</b> <i>Astam</i>!
