The narrator says, THESE SIBLINGS
LIVE ON AN ISLAND WITH THEIR
FAMILY. THEY CATCH ALL THEIR
OWN FOOD AND THEY LOVE
SPLASHING AROUND IN THE OCEAN.
[Boat motor, splashing]
Kimowan says, OH YEAH!
The narrator says, LET'S GO!
Photographs of children hang on an animated clothesline in front of animated foothills, mountains, and the sun. Text reads, “Raven’s Quest.”

Cheveyo says, WE'RE IN
NUU-CHAH-NULTH TERRITORY.
Ha-Li says, WE'RE AHOUSAHT
AND WE LIVE NEAR TOFINO, B.C.
A dot on a map shows the location of Tofino on an island off the coast of British Columbia.
[Boing]
Kimowan says, AND HOW WE
GET THERE IS BY BOAT.
Cheveyo says, LET'S PUT ON
OUR LIFE JACKETS SO WE CAN
SHOW YOU WHERE WE LIVE.
[Motor boat engine, upbeat music plays]
A man with black hair hair and a beard drives a motorboat. A woman with long brown hair sits in the front of the boat. She wears a brown touque and coat. A brown dog stands looking over the side of the boat. Text beneath the woman reads, “Nitanis.” Text beneath the man reads, “John.”
[Slide whistles]
Cheveyo says, THIS IS MY MOM, NITANIS.
Kimowan says, THIS IS MY
DAD, JOHN. HE DRIVES THE BOAT.
Text under the dog reads, “Chumas.”
Ha-Li THIS IS OUR DOG.
HER NAME'S CHUMAS AND
IT MEANS SWEET TASTING.
GOOD GIRL.
Kimowan says, I LIKE GOING IN
THE FRONT OF THE BOAT BECAUSE
IT FEELS LIKE I'M FLYING.
[Laughter]
Cheveyo says, THE CLOSEST
COMMUNITY TO SEITCHER BAY
IS PROBABLY AHOUSHAT.
Text reads, “Ahoushat.”
Kimowan says, THE BEST PART
OF WHERE WE LIVE IS WE HAVE
NO NEIGHBOURS.
KLAYAHU-AATHL SEEWA.
Text beneath him reads, “Klayahu-aathl seewa.”
Cheveyo says, WELCOME TO
SEITCHER BAY.
Ha-Li says, IT'S A TRADITIONAL
NUU-CHAH-NULTH WELCOME.
Kimowan says, WE WELCOME
OUR VISITORS WHEN THEY COME
SO THAT THEY KNOW THEY'RE WELCOME.
[Upbeat music plays]
Ha-Li says, OUR SUMMER HOME
IS ON SEITCHER BAY AND WE LIVE
RIGHT ON THE BEACH.
Kimowan says, THIS IS OUR ROOM.
COME AND CHECK IT OUT.
Cheveyo says, OUR ROOM IS IN
A LITTLE CABIN IN THE WOODS.
IT'S NICE AND IT'S QUIET AND
IT'S GOT A GOOD VIEW AND IT'S
REALLY COMFY.
Ha-Li points to “HR” carved into wood.
Ha-Li says, ALSO I HELPED BUILD IT
AND I WROTE MY INITIALS HERE.
WE USE THE MOSS TO BLOCK THE
WIND THAT COMES IN.
Kimowan says, THIS IS MY BEDROOM.
YOU CAN SEE THE MOON AND
EVERYTHING AND THE STARS.
WE CAN BE AS LOUD AS WE
WANT BECAUSE THERE'S NO
NEIGHBOURS AROUND.
Cheveyo says, OUR FAVOURITE
PART OF OUR ROOM IS THE HATCH.
I THINK IT'S COOL THAT WE HAVE
A HATCH TO GO OUTSIDE AND THEN
WE CAN PICK BERRIES.
Cheveyo opens a hatch. He, Ha-li, and Kimowan crawl outside.
Ha-li says, ALL OF THESE
BUSHES HERE ARE BERRIES.
Cheveyo says, MMM.
Kimowan says, REALLY GOOD.
Ha-Li says, NOW THAT YOU'VE
SEE OUR ROOM LET'S GO DOWN
TO THE BEACH.
Kimowan says, OH YEAH!
[Running footsteps]
Cheveyo digs in sand.
Cheveyo says, I'M LOOKING
FOR TREASURE.
Kimowan says, OH.
THAT'S REALLY COOL.
[Splashing waves]
Ha-Li says, SOMETIMES WHEN
WE GO TO THE BEACH WE FIND
GARBAGE THAT WE WANT TO
HELP AND CLEAN UP.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO CLEAN UP
THE BEACH TO PROTECT THE
PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
Kimowan says, MY FAVOURITE
THING TO DO IS FLIPPING OVER
ROCKS AND FINDING CRABS.
THEY MAKE A CRAB KINGDOM
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT.
Cheveyo says, OH. THAT'S A LOT.
TRY TO GRAB ALL OF THEM.
Kimowan says, WHOA.
THAT WAS A BIG ONE.
LOOK AT THIS ONE.
Cheveyo says, IT LOST ITS PINCHER
AND NOW IT'S GROWING BACK A
TINY ONE. THAT'S COOL.
Kimowan says, IT FEELS LIKE
A BUNCH OF BABY SPIDERS
CRAWLING ON OUR HANDS.
Cheveyo says, YEAH.
IT FEELS COOL.
Ha-Li and Kimowan walk in shallow water as Cheveyo runs to catch up.
[Flapping]
Cheveyo, Ha-Li, and Kimowan sit by a wooden table. Clam shells and art supplies cover the table top.
Cheveyo says, WE'RE MAKING
ARTS AND CRAFTS WITH THE
SHELLS THAT WE COLLECTED
TODAY. I'M GOING TO BE MAKING
A CLAM WITH AN AFRO.
Ha-li says, I'M GOING TO BE
MAKING AN ALIEN CLAM.
Kimowan says, I'M GONNA
MAKE A CRAB CLAM.
Ha-Li says, I'M PAINTING IT
GREEN SO THAT I CAN MAKE
MY ALIEN A GREEN ALIEN.
I FEEL LIKE I GOTTA ADD
SOMETHING. THAT'S GOOD.
Ha-Li holds up a green clamshell with three googly eyes and two antennae.
She says, TADA!
Kimowan says, HEY.
WHERE'S A POM-POM?
Ha-Li says, THAT DOES LOOK
LIKE A CRAB.
Kimowan says INSIDE IS A PEARL.
HIS NAME'S WEIRD ARMS
BECAUSE HE HAS WEIRD ARMS.
Ha-li says, I LIKE BLUE BECAUSE
IT'S LIKE THE OCEAN.
Cheveyo says, I'M PUTTING
AN AFRO ON USING MOSS FOR
THE HAIR. THIS IS GOING TO
BE SHELBY'S MOUTH. IT KINDA
LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A BEAK.
CRAZY GUY.
THIS IS SHELBY. IT'S REALLY COOL
AND HE GOT A GOATEE AND THIS
IS SHELDON THE SNAIL. HE'S HAPPY
ALL THE TIME. GOT BIG
EYEBROWS, TOO.
Ha-Li says, BECAUSE WE LIVE
RIGHT BESIDE THE OCEAN, WE SPEND
A LOT OF TIME IN THE WATER.
Ha-Li, Kimowan, and Cheveyo wear wet suits as they run into water.
[Splashing]
Ha-Li explains, THE WET SUITS
HELP US STAY WARM.
Cheveyo says, AND SOME OF
THE WET SUITS THAT WE HAVE
HELP US FLOAT.
[Splashing]
Ha-Li says, WE HAVE THIS GAME
CALLED RUN AND JUMP.
YOU RUN OFF THE PADDLE-BOARD
AND THEN YOU JUST JUMP.
Kimowan says, I'M GONNA JUMP.
He jumps into the water.
[Splash]
Ha-Li says, THE PADDLE-BOARD
MOVES BEHIND YOU AND YOU
JUST FALL.
FOR KIDS WHO HAVEN'T TRIED IT
YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL AND YOU
SHOULD KEEP YOUR BALANCE AND
ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE SUPERVISED.
Nitanis leans on a rock and smiles as she watches the children play in the water.
[Splashing]
Cheveyo says, WHAT I LIKE THE
MOST ABOUT THE OCEAN IS FISH.
AND I LIKE TO GO DIVE DOWN AND
TRY TO FIND STUFF.
WHEN WE DIVE WE FIND ALL KINDS
OF THINGS LIKE OYSTERS.
Ha-Li says, I'M GOING TO PUT
IT BACK INTO THE OCEAN
BECAUSE WE DON'T EAT
OYSTERS IN THE SUMMERTIME.
THIS IS HOW YOU SAY THE WORD
OCEAN IN THE NUU-CHAH-NULTH
LANGUAGE.
Cheveyo, Ha-Li, and Kimowan hold a wooden board with the word “tuupaat” written on it. Blue text beneath the board reads, “ocean.”
Kimowan says, TUUPAAT. TUUPAAT.
All repeat, TUUPAAT.
Cheveyo says, WE'RE GONNA PULL
UP A CRAB TRAP TO SEE IF WE
GOT ANYTHING.
Kimowan says, MMHMM.
I LIKE TO EAT FISH AND STUFF
BUT TODAY WE GET TO EAT CRAB.
Cheveyo, Ha-Li, and Kimowan sing,
WE GOT A CRAB TRAP.
Cheveyo says, LIVING OFF THE
LAND MEANS CATCHING OUR
OWN FOOD. THE BEST PART
ABOUT CATCHING OUR OWN
FOOD IS THAT IT'S SO MUCH
MORE FRESH.
Kimowan says, IT'S A DUNGENESS CRAB.
Kimowan carefully drops a crab into boiling water.
Ha-Li says, SO ONCE YOU BOIL
THE CRAB, TAKE OFF THE BACK
SHELL AND CLEAN IT WITH
WATER AND IT SHOULD BE
READY TO EAT.
[Water sloshes]
Cheveyo says, THIS IS GOOD.
Kimowan says, THIS IS WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO BUILD OUR
WINTER HUT.
[Bird caws]
Ha-Li slides a plank of wood on to the back of a truck.
Ha-Li says, THIS IS SOME OF
THE WOOD THAT WE'RE GOING
TO BE USING.
Kimowan says, TODAY, WE'RE
HELPING OUR PARENTS
TRANSFERRING WOOD INTO
THE TRUCK.
[Upbeat music plays, sliding wood, rustling]
Ha-Li explains, WHEN IT GETS
TO WINTER IT GETS REALLY
STORMY AND IT GETS REALLY
COLD SO THAT'S WHEN WE
GO INTO OUR WINTER HOME.
Kimowan says, IT FEELS GOOD
WHEN I'M HELPING MY PARENTS.
Ha-Li, Cheveyo, and Kimowan say,
THANKS FOR SPENDING THE DAY
WITH US. CUU.
They wave.
