Wapos Bay: The Series
Wapos Bay: The Series is a stop motion animated family television series that follows the adventures of three children, T-Bear, Talon and Raven, as they explore their remote community in northern Saskatchewan. It is aired across Canada by the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.
The series was created by Dennis and Melanie Jackson of Saskatoon, and is a humorous look at aboriginal life featuring positive role models for children.[1] The producers have been able to procure the help of people including Jordin Tootoo, Lee Majors and Mike Holmes to supply voices to their own characters (or in Lee Majors' case, a character based on Steve Austin, his character from The Six Million Dollar Man).
The pilot episode There's No "I" In Hockey received the Canada Award for best Canadian multicultural program as well as a Golden Sheaf Award for best children's production.[2] The first two seasons of Wapos Bay were coproduced with the National Film Board of Canada.[3]
