Clips show a 9 year-old girl with long light blond hair.

The narrator says TODAY, WE'RE

The narrator says SHE'S AN AMAZING ARTIST.

Papatsie points at a girl next to her and says I'M GONNA DRAW HER FACE.

The narrator says SHE PLAYS THE UKULELE.
SHE'S A THROAT SINGER.
TODAY, SHE'S IN A THROAT
SINGING CONTEST AGAINST
HER FRIEND KENDAL.

The narrator says LET'S GO.

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."

Papatsie sasy UNUKUT.
MY NAME IS
PAPATSIE, I'M 9 YEARS OLD.
I LIVE IN OTTAWA.
I'M INUK AND MY
PEOPLE LIVE IN NUNAVUT.
THIS IS NUNAVUT,
IT'S WAY UP NORTH.

A map shows the Canadian provinces. It zooms in on Nunavut and Ottawa.

Papatsie says AND ALL THE WAY DOWN
HERE IS OTTAWA.
I LIVE WITH MY
MOM, DAD AND BROTHER.
THIS IS MY BROTHER CAMDEN.

Camden is around 10 and wears a black zip up jacket and a blue cap.

Papatsie says THIS IS MY MOM.

Mom is in her thirties, with brown hair in a bun. She wears glasses, jeans, a black jacket, a stripe scarf and a printed top.

Papatsie says THIS IS MY DAD
AND HE'S AN ARTIST.

Dad is in his forties, with short light brown hair and a beard and wears glasses and a plaid shirt.

Papatsie says HI, WELCOME TO MY ROOM.
THIS IS BASICALLY WHERE I
LOVE TO SPEND ALL MY TIME.
ALL THE PAINTINGS IN MY ROOM
WERE ACTUALLY WHAT MY DAD DID.
MY ENGLISH NAME IS KEELY BUT I
PREFER TO BE CALLED PAPATSIE
BECAUSE THAT'S MY
INUKTITUT NAME.
PAPATSIE MEANS GREAT PROVIDER.
I GOT THE NAME FROM MY
GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER.

A picture of an aboriginal man appears.

Papatsie says THE STORY IS THAT MY
GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS SENT
ON A QUEST TO FIND FOOD AND WHEN
HE CAME BACK HE CAME WITH 2
LARGE SEALS THAT'S ABLE TO
FEED THE ENTIRE CITY.
THIS IS MY SNOW
GLOBE OF NIAGARA FALLS.
I REALLY LIKE IT BECAUSE IT
REMINDS ME OF THE FURY AND THE
FALLS WHEN I
FIRST GOT TO SEE IT.
ANOTHER ONE OF MY
FAVOURITE THINGS IS MY UKULELE.
I STARTED LEARNING IT
THIS YEAR AT SCHOOL.

She grabs a board and says I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU
HOW TO COUNT FROM 1 TO 5
IN MY LANGUAGE.
ATAUSIQ, WHICH IS 1.
MARRUK, WHICH IS 2.
PINASUT, WHICH IS 3.
TISIAMAT, WHICH IS 4.
AND TALIMAT, WHICH IS 5.
THIS IS A PANDA HEAD THAT I
MADE WITH MY DAD AND MY BROTHER
BECAUSE WE LOVE TO
MAKE ART PROJECTS.

Papatsie puts on the panda head.

Kendal says HI, KEELY.

Papatsie says THIS IS MY FRIEND KENDAL.

Kendal says THIS IS MY FRIEND PAPATSIE.
SINCE WE WERE BABIES, SHE
SAID BEFORE I WAS BORN,
I WAS ALREADY HER BEST FRIEND.
WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT WE
WOULD BE FRIENDS FOREVER.

On a double slide, Kendal says HOLD OUR HANDS.

Kendal is now on the swings.

Papatsie says KENDAL, CAN I JUST
RECORD YOU HERE?
ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING US?
I WANNA KNOW.
I'M AN ARTIST, I LOVE TO DRAW
AND I'M GONNA DRAW HER FACE.
THESE LINES HERE GUIDELINES TO
HELP ME KNOW WHERE THE EYES ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE AND THE NOSE AND
THE MOUTH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
AND I'M DONE MY
DRAWING ON KENDAL.
I DON'T THINK IT
LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE HER.

Kendal says I DON'T THINK IT
LOOKS LIKE ME EITHER.

The girls laugh.

Papatsie says I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE NORTH BUT
I DREAM OF GOING THERE ONE DAY.
BUT I CAN PRETEND I'M IN NUNAVUT
WHEN I GO TO THE INUIT EXHIBIT
AT THE MUSEUM.
WE'RE GONNA CHECK
OUT THE EXHIBITS.
COME ON.
WHOA THAT LOOKS SO COOL.
KENDAL AND I FOUND OUT
THAT THIS IS A SUMMER IGLOO.
IT'S MADE OF WHALE BONE.

Kendal says WHOA.

Papatsie points at a mask and says WHAT'S THAT?

Kendal says IT LOOKS KIND OF A BIT WEIRD.

Papatsie says YEAH.
OUR TRADITIONAL WOMEN'S
COAT IS CALLED AN AMAUTI.
THIS ONE IS MADE OUT OF CARIBOU
SKIN BUT MINE AND KENDAL'S ARE
MADE OUT OF CLOTH.

Now the girls appear in their amautis. Papatsie’s is purple and Kendal’s is white.

They say THIS IS MY AMAUTI.

Papatsie looks at the caribou skin amauti and says I REALLY WISH THAT ONE DAY
SOON I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.

Kendal says ME TOO.

Papatsie says BUT IT MUST BE
REALLY HOT TO WEAR.

The girls face one another and start making throat noises.

Papatsie says I LIKE TO LEARN ABOUT OUR
TRADITIONS ESPECIALLY THE FUN
ONES.
KENDAL AND I ARE THROAT SINGERS.
THROAT SINGING IS A FRIENDLY
COMPETITION USUALLY BETWEEN 2
WOMEN.
YOU WIN WHEN YOU MAKE
THE OTHER PERSON LAUGH.
WHEN SHE SAYS MA I SAY HUM
AND WHEN SHE SAYS HUM I SAY MA.
THIS YEAR ME AND KENDAL GOT TO
PERFORM AT PARLIAMENT HILL AND
THEN WHEN IT WAS FINALLY OUR
TURN I WAS KINDA NERVOUS BECAUSE
IT WAS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST
CROWD WE HAD BUT IT WAS REALLY
FUN.
I NORMALLY GET TAUGHT ABOUT
MY CULTURE AT OTTAWA INUIT
CHILDREN'S CENTRE.
I GO THERE AFTER SCHOOL.
AND IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY
FUN PLACE TO BE.
WE PLAY ALL KINDS OF FUN
INUIT GAMES LIKE LEG WRESTLING.

An instructor says ARE YOU GUYS READY?
GO, GO, THERE
YOU GO.

On their backs, the girls start moving a leg up and down.

Papatsie says WHEN WE PLAY DODGE BALL IT'S
REALLY FUN AND WHEN WE'RE NOT ON
THE SAME TEAM IT'S A
TOTAL BATTLE BETWEEN US.
ME AND KENDAL ALWAYS
GET THE SAME SNACK.
CHICKEN NUGGETS
BECAUSE WE LOVE CHICKEN.
I ALSO LOVE WHEN WE
GET TO EAT COUNTRY FOOD.
THAT'S TRADITIONAL
FOOD FROM THE NORTH.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE
COUNTRY FOODS ARE FISH,
ESPECIALLY, FISH
EYEBALLS WHICH ARE DELICIOUS.
IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD
SNACK BUT IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO
GET FISH EYEBALLS BECAUSE THERE
GONE BEFORE YOU CAN
EVEN ASK FOR ONE.

Papatsie says an eye ball and says MMMM.

Papatsie says IT'S TIME FOR A THROAT
SINGING COMPETITION.
I THINK THAT I'M GONNA
WIN, BECAUSE NORMALLY,
IF WE START REALLY FAST
EVEN IF SHE HAS HER EYES CLOSED
SHE'LL END UP LAUGHING.

Papatsie and Kendal start throat singing.

Kendal laughs.

Papatsie says I WIN.
I THINK I'M THE MOST EXCITED
TO SHARE MY STORY BECAUSE
EVERYBODY'S STARTING TO LOSE A
TINY BIT OF OUR CULTURE SO BEING
ABLE TO SHARE A BIT OF MY
CULTURE IS JUST A DREAM COME
TRUE.

Kids at the center wave and say TAVVAUVUSI.

Music plays as the end credits roll.
