(music plays)

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."

Kaksa'Ti:Io says SHE:KON. HELLO.
I AM KAKSA'TI:IO AND
I AM 10 YEARS OLD.
I AM FROM THE MOHAWK NATION
AND I LIVE IN KANAWÀ:KE WHICH IS
RIGHT NEXT TO MONTREAL.
MY NAME KAKSA'TI:IO MEANS
NICE GIRL OR PRETTY GIRL.

She poses for a photographer.

The photographer says NICE.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says I MODELLED THREE
TIMES BEFORE.

The photographer says YOU'RE GONNA BE ON THE FRONT OF
THE POW-WOW EDITION THIS YEAR BY
THE WAY.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says WHEN I MODEL I FEEL
NERVOUS AND OKAY AT THE SAME
TIME BUT MOST
OF THE TIME I'M NERVOUS.

The photographer says OH MY GOODNESS.
THAT'S AWESOME.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says I AM PROUD TO MODEL
TRADITIONAL CLOTHING AND TO
REPRESENT MY
NATION IN A POSITIVE WAY.

The photographer says THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD ACTUALLY.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says I LIKE RIBBON DRESSES BECAUSE
THEY'RE REALLY PRETTY AND
THEY'RE COMFORTABLE.
WHEN I WORK WITH DANIEL IT'S
FUNNY BECAUSE HE MAKES UP ALL
THESE JOKES.

A caption reads "Daniel."

Daniel, the photographer, is in his thirties, with short wavy brown hair and a goatee. He wears ochre trousers and a black sweater.

Daniel says DON'T LOOK AT YOUR MOM
SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING.
NOW YOU CAN'T STOP SMILING.
STOP.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says I THINK DANIEL'S A GREAT
PHOTOGRAPHER.

Daniel says SEE?
WHEN YOU'RE
NATURAL IT'S PERFECT.
YOU DID PRETTY WELL.
SO WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

They do a cool handshake.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says GUYS HOW TO SAY SMILE IN MY
LANGUAGE.
SAIÉHSHON.
SAIÉHSHON.
SMILE.
WHEN YOU SMILE IT SHOWS
THAT YOU'RE A GREAT PERSON.
WELCOME TO MY HOUSE.
I'M GOING TO BE
SHOWING YOU GUYS AROUND.

She points at a pre-teen brown haired girl and says THIS IS MY SISTER
KAKSATAHNO:RON.

She points at a blond woman in her thirties and says THIS IS MY ISTA WHICH
MEANS MOM IN MY LANGUAGE.
HEY GUYS.
THIS IS MY ROOM AND I'M
GONNA SHOW YOU GUYS AROUND.
SO OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT IS
MY CLOSET AND I HAVE MY RIBBON
SKIRT OR RIBBON DRESS.
I LOVE THE COLOUR PURPLE AND
GOLD AND IT IS A TRADITIONAL
OUTFIT I WEAR TO SCHOOL AND TO
LIKE SOCIALS AND ALL KINDS OF
THINGS LIKE THAT.
THIS IS MY DREAM-CATCHER
I GOT WHEN I WAS 6.
I GOT IT AT THE POW-WOW BECAUSE
I WAS SCARED OF HAVING BAD
DREAMS AND I DIDN'T
WANT TO HAVE ANYMORE.
THESE ARE MY MEDALS.
I HAVE 5 RIGHT HERE.
4 OF THEM WERE FROM GYMNASTICS.
THIS ONE'S MY FAVOURITE MEDAL
BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE ONE FROM
THE OLYMPICS AND
IT'S REALLY HEAVY.
THIS IS MY TEDDY BEAR I
HAD SINCE I WAS 18 MONTHS.
I NAMED IT LADY.
IT'S BEEN WASHED AND
SEWED SO MANY TIMES.
IT'S MY FAVOURITE.
MY MOM WENT TO MIAMI
RECENTLY AND SHE GOT ME A SHELL.
I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY COOL.

She points at a decorative letter K and says AND THEN HERE I HAVE MY K.
IT STANDS FOR MY NAME.
AND THAT'S THE END
OF MY ROOM TOUR.
HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS ENJOYED.
TODAY'S A REALLY SPECIAL DAY
BECAUSE IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND
THESE ARE MY FRIENDS.

A brown haired girl says I'M TIOK.

A blond girl says I'M TYLEE.

Another brown haired girl says I'M MYLA.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says MY AUNTIE IS
THROWING A PARTY FOR ME.
LET'S GO INSIDE
AND CHECK IT OUT.
THIS IS MY BABY
BROTHER RAHWATSIRAHNÍ:RATS.
OOH.
THEY BROUGHT US SOME PIZZA.
MMM.
THIS IS MY AUNTIE VANESSA.

Vanessa says HI.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says MY FAVOURITE PIZZA
IS CHEESE PIZZA.
I USED TO TAKE OFF THE CHEESE
TO JUST EAT THE BREAD AND THE
SAUCE.
SO IN MY FAMILY WE SING
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN MOHAWK.

Her mom brings a cake to the table and all the guests sing.

(SINGING HAPPY
BIRTHDAY IN MOHAWK)

Kaksa'Ti:Io blows the candles and says I REALLY LIKE MY BIRTHDAY CAKE
BECAUSE IT'S A PRETTY COLOUR AND
IT'S VANILLA.
ME AND TYLEE, WE'VE BEEN
FRIENDS SINCE WE WERE BABIES.
I REALLY LIKE MY FRIENDS BECAUSE
THEY'RE FUNNY, THEY'RE NICE AND
THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH.

Tiok says I WAS LIKE WHAT IF YOU HAVE AN
UGLY BIRTHDAY CAKE AND TYLEE WAS
LIKE WHAT IF THERE WAS A
DANCING WORM ON YOUR CAKE?

Kaksa'Ti:Io says GLORIOUS.

The girls say CHEERS.

Kaksa'Ti:Io says SO TODAY WE'RE AT THE COMMUNITY
GARDEN AND I'M GOING TO BE
TEACHING YOU GUYS HOW TO PLANT.
I'M GOING TO BE
PLANTING SOME CORN.
RIGHT NOW I'M BREAKING UP THE
DIRT SO I HAVE A NICE SPOT TO
PUT THE SEEDS.
YOU TAKE A CORN FROM
LAST YEAR AND YOU DRY IT.
YOU CAN PICK OFF THE LITTLE
PIECES OF CORN AND THESE ARE THE
SEEDS.
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE CORN HUSK
DOLLS WITH CORN AND YOU CAN ALSO
BRAID CORN.
NO WE'RE GONNA PLANT AND
I'M GONNA USE THREE SEEDS.
YOU HAVE TO PUT THE SEEDS IN THE
BOWL WITH WATER AND SOAK IT FOR
THREE DAYS.
THE CORN WE'RE PLANTING
TODAY IT IS SWEET YELLOW CORN.
AND THE LAST STEP
IS TO WATER IT.
SO, IN ABOUT 8 TO 10 WEEKS, IT'S
GOING TO GROW UP TO 6 FEET TALL.
TALLER THAN I AM RIGHT NOW.
I LIKE PLANTING BECAUSE IT KEEPS
YOU GROUNDED TO MOTHER EARTH AND
IT'S REALLY FUN TO
PLANT AND GET DIRTY.
AND VOILA.

At the gym, Kaksa'Ti:Io says THIS IS MY GYMNASTICS TEAM.
I WAS 3 YEARS OLD WHEN
I STARTED GYMNASTICS.
WHEN I STARTED
COMPETING I WAS 8 YEARS OLD.
I LIKE GYMNASTICS
BECAUSE IT'S FUN.
YOU LEARN NEW THINGS AND YOU CAN
GROW FROM JUST DOING THAT SPORT.
WHEN I COMPETE I'M SCARED
AND NERVOUS BUT ALSO EXCITED.
TONIGHT I'M NOT DOING A ROUTINE.
I'M JUST PRACTISING MY STUFF.
ON BEAM I HAVE TO WORK ON BACK
HAND SPRINGS, ROUND-OFFS AND
FRONT WALK OVERS FOR MY
NEXT YEAR'S COMPETITIONS.
ON BARS I AM BEST
AT HAND STANDS.
I REALLY LIKE MY COACHES BECAUSE
THEY HELP ME WITH ALL THE MOVES
AND IF I'M SCARED THEY WILL SPOT
ME THE FIRST FEW AND THEN AFTER
THAT THEY WILL LET ME GO BY
MYSELF BUT STILL BE THERE JUST
IN CASE.
IN THE FUTURE I WOULD LIKE TO GO
TO THE OLYMPICS BUT IF I DON'T
MAKE IT THAT FAR I'LL
PROBABLY BE A DANCER OR COACH AT
GYMNASTICS.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
O:NEN.

All the team say GOODBYE.
