The Wapos Bay community in northern Saskatchewan is celebrating their annual winter festival. Competitive events include a hockey tournament, dogsled races, king trapper, moose calling and bannock making. Contests are an opportunity to show talents and gifts, and being talented in hockey is not just for boys—as young Melanie proves. Competition can also bring out strong emotions when winning is at stake.Working as a team means communicating, cooperating and honouring your commitments to your teammates by doing what you promised.Working as a team brings rewards for the young Talon,T-Bear and Raven, as well as the elder, kohkum.

Wapos Bay kids love adventure. And their playground is a vast area that has been home to their Cree ancestors for millennia. At Wapos Bay , modern life and ancient traditions collide. Hunting, foraging, dog sledding and the shimmering Northern Lights are part of everyday life, but so are video games, television and cell phones. Guided by the elders, the extended family's insatiable curiosity and the three children learn to balance traditional methods with new ones.

Wapos Bay is a stop-motion animation series that follows the adventures of 3 kids from a Cree community in northern Saskatchewan.
