The sky is a source of endless fascination for young Raven and T-Bear as they study the clouds during daylight and learn about the spiritual dimension of the northern lights. For the members of the Wapos Bay community, respect is at the centre of their relationships with each other and all they do as they balance old ways with new. Raven and T-Bear learn that listening with care to relatives, offering tobacco ties when picking sweetgrass, and expressing gratitude to the creator are some of the spiritual aspects of living life in balance. Raven and T-Bear discover that their careless behaviour may be the source of small misfortunes and even violent storms.These are signs of disrespect and require a ceremony to restore harmony and balance.

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.
