At school,T-Bear volunteers for an unknown task to avoid decorating the community skating rink for the Wapos Bay Remembrance Day ceremony. He is to deliver the Remembrance Day tribute speech that will be broadcast on Wapos Bay Aboriginal Radio and the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN).The enormity of the task sinks in as he prepares gifts of fabric and sweetgrass for the interviews with the Wapos Bay elders.T-Bear is impressed with their involvement in historical Canadian military efforts and the use of the Cree language for secret missions.As he gathers information to include in his speech for the Remembrance Day tribute, he gains new understanding of the words “Lest We Forget.” Meanwhile, Raven explores the meaning of “appreciation” when her own gestures of gratitude to a departing teacher are not understood and as kohkum intones,“Truth depends on our point of view.”

Wapos Bay is an award-winning series of stop-motion animations (claymation) about three Cree children living in remote northern Saskatchewan. Guided by elders, extended family and their own insatiable curiosity, T-Bear, Talon and Raven learn how to balance traditional ways with newer ones.
