Produced by Wapos Bay Productions Inc. in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada with the participation of the Canadian Television Fund created by the Government of Canada and the Canadian cable industry, the Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, and in association with Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.

Talon and his cousin T-Bear play on the same hockey team, but their relationship becomes strained when they both try to win the attention of Melanie, a girl on an opposing team. The three are all playing in the hockey tournament at the Wapos Bay Winter Festival.

Meanwhile, Raven is having a little too much fun and not helping her grandmother prepare the Kohkum/Granddaughter bannock competition at the Festival. Frustrated by waiting for her granddaughter to help out, Kohkum quits preparing for the contest.

The three children acquire some valuable lessons with the help of Kohkum and Mushom, Raven's grandfather. T-Bear learns how to be a team player, and Raven is determined to compete in the contest.

Wapos Bay is a light-hearted stop-motion animation series about the adventures of 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. Dennis and Melanie Jackson created this charming award-winning series.
