Storyline
Storyline When STEVIE, a smart and spunky 6-year-old Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) girl moves from the city to her First Nation community, she learns about her relationship to Mother Earth and all living things with the help of her two cousins LOGAN, 7, and BELLA, 4, and seven BABY SACRED ANIMALS who have lessons of their own to learn as they grow. They are guided by a Grandmother (NOOKOMIS) narrator who help them understand more about the world, and about being the best they can be!

Description NOOKOMIS Female 60+, Indigenous. Nookomis is the spiritual guide of the animal world. Her voice travels on wind, water, sunlight, not visually embodied. The children and animals in the series occasionally hear her, as she guides the baby sacred animals to the lessons they need to learn. Her voice is warm, soft, and calming. Her words are sometimes poetic, but she never lectures and is down-to-earth. She encourages, but never corrects. She is often amused by the adorable baby sacred animals, and her giggles and chuckles warm our hearts. PLEASE NOTE: signing ability (not essential, but an asset), and proficiency in Anishinaabemowin (a strong asset). Please just put it in your notes if you can sing or speak Anishinaabemowin . | ||
