In animation, pictures of several different kids appear hanging on laundry lines. A raven on the lines flies off to the sun and opens his wings as the title of the show appears. It reads "Raven's Quest."

Morgan says ALLO.
MY NAME IS MORGAN.
I JUST TURNED 12 AND I'M MÉTIS.

Adrea is around 12, with long wavy red hair in a ponytail and wears black leggings, a black jacket with colourful details down the zip, gloves, and a firefighter's helmet.

Adrea says HI.
LET'S GO.

Morgan says MY FAVOURITE THING AT THE
FIRE HALL WOULD BE THE EQUIPMENT
TRUCK BECAUSE I LIKE TO OPEN UP
ALL THE DOORS AND LOOK AT THE
GEAR.
THE THING I LIKE THE MOST
ABOUT ADREA IS THAT SHE'S REALLY
FUNNY.

Adrea says AND THE THING THAT I LIKE THE
MOST ABOUT MORGAN IS THAT SHE'S
REALLY FUNNY.

Morgan pretends to spray her with a hose and says I GOT YOUR FACE.

Adrea grabs the truck radio and says HELLO?

NOT ME.

Adrea says IT'S A MARSHMALLOW.

Morgan says WOW.
I'M TALKING TO A MARSHMALLOW.

OTHER FOR A LONG TIME AND BOTH
OF OUR FATHERS ARE FIREFIGHTERS.

On a boat, Morgan pretend rows and says ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.

I HAVE THREE DOGS.
THIS IS MY DALMATIAN EMBER.
THIS IS ANGEL.
AND THIS
IS MY
FAVORITE, POOH.
AND EMBER HAS TWO
DIFFERENT COLOURED EYES.
ONE'S BLUE AND ONE'S BROWN.
I LIKE HAVING A BIG BACKYARD.
I THINK MY PETS LIKE IT TOO
BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT MORE
ROOM TO RUN AROUND AND PLAY.
THIS IS MY DAD KEITH.

Keith is in his forties, bald and with a shadow of a beard. He wears jeans, a black T-shirt and a brown jacket.

Christopher is in his late teens, with short straight blond hair and a beard. He wears jeans and a blue sweater.

Christopher says HI.

Morgan says I LEARNED TO BEAD THIS SUMMER
AT A MÉTIS CAMP THAT I WENT TO.
I LIKE GOING TO THOSE CAMPS
BECAUSE I'M MÉTIS SO LEARNING
ABOUT MY CULTURE'S FUN FOR ME.
GO UP WHERE THE TWO
YELLOW BEADS STARTED.
GO THROUGH THE TWO BEADS.

Corinna says IS IT COMING ALONG?

Morgan says YEAH IT LOOKS GOOD.
TRADITIONAL BEADING
WOULD BE PROBABLY FLOWERS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF
TRADITIONAL MÉTIS BEADING IT'S
FLOWERS.
YOU WOULD NORMALLY BEAD ON
LEATHER BUT I BEAD ON FELT
BECAUSE THE LEATHER IS REALLY
THICK AND IT'S HARD TO GET THE
NEEDLE THROUGH.

She shows a flower template and says THIS IS THE TEMPLATE THAT I'M
WORKING ON RIGHT NOW AND THEN
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
WHEN IT'S ON FELT AND STARTED.
WHAT I'M WEARING IS
CALLED A MÉTIS SASH.
I LIKE THE WHITE BECAUSE IT
REPRESENTS THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN US AND OUR EARTH AND
I LIKE THE YELLOW BECAUSE IT
REPRESENTS HOPE AND
OUR BRIGHT FUTURE.

She plays with blocks and says I REALLY LIKE THESE BLOCKS.
I PLAY WITH THESE
ALMOST EVERYDAY.
I'LL SIT HERE AND I CAN
PLAY WITH THEM FOR HOURS.

At the pool, she says ONE, TWO, THREE.

She jumps in the water and says I LOVE SWIMMING.
I'VE BEEN TAKING SWIMMING
LESSONS FOR THREE TO FOUR YEARS
AND I REALLY LIKE SWIMMING ON MY
BACK BECAUSE I CAN BREATHE THE
WHOLE TIME.

In her room, Morgan says THIS IS MY ROOM AND HERE ARE
SOME MEDALS I'VE WON FROM DANCE
COMPETITIONS.
SO I HAVE ONE GOLD MEDAL AND TWO
SILVER MEDALS AND THEN THIS IS A
MEDAL I WON WHEN I WAS TWO FROM
THE FAIR SAYING THAT I DID THE
RED RIVER JIG.
MY ROOM IS UNDER THE SEA
THEMED SO I HAVE A LOT OF BLUE.
I HAVE BLUE BEDDING, BLUE
BLANKETS, BLUE PILLOWS.
ALMOST EVERYTHING
IN MY ROOM IS BLUE.
THESE ARE MY TAP SHOES AND I'VE
TAPPED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
ON THE BOTTOM THERE ARE MEDAL
PLATES AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE
SOUND FOR TAP SHOES.
THESE ARE BEADED
CLIPS FOR MY HAIR.
THIS ONE IS THE MÉTIS SASH
AND THIS ONE IS THE MÉTIS FLAG.
IT'S A WHITE INFINITY
SYMBOL WITH A BLUE BACKGROUND.
THIS IS MY FIDDLE AND I'VE BEEN
PLAYING SINCE I WAS 4 YEARS OLD.
I PLAY MAINLY TRADITIONAL MUSIC
AND I'LL PLAY YOU A MÉTIS REEL.

She plays a piece.

Morgan says MICHIF IS THE MÉTIS LANGUAGE.
IN MICHIF THIS IS
HOW YOU SAY FIDDLE.
LI VIYALOON.
LI VIYALOON, FIDDLE.
ELDERS REALLY LIKE MY MUSIC SO
TODAY WE'RE GONNA GO CHEER THEM
UP AND PLAY SOME MUSIC FOR THEM.
LET'S GO.

(music plays)

Morgan says MÉTIS MUSIC IS DIFFERENT FROM
NORMAL MUSIC THAT YOU WOULD HEAR
IN OTHER PLACES BECAUSE THE
PATTERNS AND THE TIMING IN THE
MUSIC IS DIFFERENT.
WHEN I'M PLAYING I DON'T REALLY
THINK ABOUT THE MUSIC BECAUSE I
JUST KNOW THE MUSIC AND WHEN I
KNOW WHAT SONG I'M PLAYING MY
FINGERS JUST KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I LIKE PLAYING MUSIC WITH MY DAD
BECAUSE THEN IT'S NOT JUST ME
PLAYING AND I FEEL REALLY
COMFORTABLE PLAYING WITH MY DAD
BECAUSE I PLAY
WITH HIM EVERYDAY.
I FEEL HAPPY WHEN I PLAY FOR
ELDERS BECAUSE I KNOW IT MAKES
THEM REALLY HAPPY.
I LIKE TO PLAY THE FIDDLE
BECAUSE IT'S PART OF MY CULTURE.

(CLAPPING)

Morgan says I HOPE YOU HAD
FUN WITH US TODAY.
MA TWAYR PLUS TAWR.
