Smile so big

Tenasco, Sunshine,


Challa looked into the mirror and saw a brown girl with long hair, a big toothy smile, big brown eyes and the cutest little dimples that looked like raisins on bannock. When Challa comes home in tears after being teased about her smile, her mom greets her with a giant squish hug and gives her a special gift. It’s a magic mirror, shiny, beaded and beautiful, passed on from her mom, and from her djo djo before her. Challa’s mom tells her that when anyone looks into the mirror, they will see their true self. There’s just one rule: Everyone has to say what they see in the reflection. At first the mirror seems to work for everyone but her. Neebin looks into the mirror and sees a boy with long, shiny braided hair and perfectly small sparkling eyes that look like stars in the sky. Keggy looks into the mirror and sees a brown girl with sharp cheekbones, a perfectly pretty nose, and stunning black hair that looks like waves in the ocean. Kiniw sees a boy with long curly eyelashes, a perfect-sized body that gives the best hugs, and rosy cheeks that look like ripe strawberries. Challa keeps looking and looking. The more beauty she sees in herself, the happier she feels. And the longer she looks into the mirror, the more beauty she sees, until finally Challa sees so much beauty, she can't contain her smile! And that’s the smile that lights up the room and the whole world beyond. And Challa sees that the magic lies in love!

Biology : Coyote's Crazy Smart Science Show


Water sustains all life on earth, and we need to respect and protect it. Jamie Dixon (Mus-Swiya), a Shishalh Nation elder, tells Clarissa and Wilfred about their traditional soup made with fish eggs and how important salmon is to his people. At the salmon fish hatchery David Burnett explains how they help increase the salmon population, and the questers get to release some smolts, young salmon ready to swim to sea. In an animated story, ‘Sally the Salmon”, heads upstream to spawn. Kai created a diorama to demonstrate how waters can become polluted. Dr. Leroy Littlebear describes native science as the search for knowledge in the natural world, having curiosity, and learning about the ecological relationships between living things. In the kitchen of Dionne Paul we see how traditional medicine plants can be added to jams. Chickasaw Nation astronaut, John Herrington, explains that fish are important in indigenous life, and one traditional fishing technique developed was fishing weirs, fence like structures that were used to catch salmon at the mouth of rivers. Biologist Kyle Bobiwash from Mississauga First Nation stresses the importance of bee pollination and biodiversity to agriculture and plant growth. And the key word in Coyote’s riddle was “Anadromous”, fish that mature in the sea then migrating up rivers to lay their eggs.

All about photosynthesis


We learn all about photosynthesis, the process through which plants make food, with new, precise, yet easy-to-understand, definitions and explanations. Plants need three components to make food: carbon dioxide, water, and solar energy. Different parts of plants are involved in photosynthesis: roots, leaves, stems, xylem, stomata, and chloroplasts. And what is produced by plants during photosynthesis? The answers to this and other questions are covered in depth with detailed graphics, diagrams and exciting video. On-screen, multiple-choice reviews at the end of each segment reinforce important concepts and make learning fun.
