Myles is a 10-year-old Ojibwe boy from Brandon, Manitoba. He demonstrates how to make a dream catcher with his sisters and, while at school, how to build a traditional drum from hide and wood. In his bedroom, Myles shows us his grass-dancing regalia and some artwork that shows ,The Seven Teachings,: love, honesty, respect, humility, truth, wisdom, and courage.
