A Mother's Earth
This award-winning series, produced in Cree, English and French, uses stop-motion animation to portray life in a fictional northern Saskatchewan community. It focuses on issues and events in the lives of children and their supportive families in this traditional Cree community. The adults guide the children to retain their traditional culture and values while living in the modern world. In this episode, six year old Raven must write a report on identity, describing who she thinks she is. Through talking to many people in the community, 10-year-old Talon reconciles her Cree-Metis identity as a daughter and sister. Cousin T-Bear and brother Talon are asked to help create a sweat lodge and through their hard work they earn their Indian names. Non-Aboriginal students viewing this film will gain a better understanding of Aboriginal identity and traditional practices. T-Bone's father's role at the band office provides a glimpse into First Nations governance and its complex issues.

Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site
This video highlights the work that takes place on a construction site. The jobs completed by a bulldozer, dump truck, crane truck, excavator and cement mixer are featured. As the work day draws to a close, the hard-working trucks settle down for a good night's sleep to rejuvenate for what tomorrow brings. The video will appeal to youngsters who have an interest in heavy machinery, but all children will relate to it as a bedtime story. The video could be used for text-to-self discussions about preparing for bed, the value of teamwork and construction vehicles. It would also be useful as an introduction to exploring interests (identity) and to community studies.
