Sekwan went ice fishing with her class today but is disappointed she didn't catch anything. Mooshum tells her about his parents taking him ice fishing on sunny, but very cold days. Fishing is an important part of Cree culture and community. Mooshum sings a fishing song and plays his drum.  In this episode, we learn Cree adjectives: cold (kiisowaw); round (waaskaw); big (kiiskaw); square (misaaw); little (apisaasin); sharp (kaasisin); slimy (pasakwaw); hot (kisitew); tasty (wihkasin). This is one episode of the 10-part Stories of the North Series that tells simple Indigenous stories in a fun and positive manner. The series is set in a northern cabin where Mooshum teaches his granddaughters Cree words through traditional stories, merging education with Indigenous language development interactively and authentically. Features Dr. Morris Cook (Mooshum) - Board Chair Northern Lights SD#113 and his granddaughters "Natanis" and "Sekwan" (played by Claire Walker and Mya Hoskins-Fiddler). NOTE: Not available for sale in Saskatchewan.
