I'M LOVELY.
I'M EIGHT YEARS OLD AND
I'M OJIBWE, DAKOTA, AFRICAN
AND FILIPINO.
I'M FROM THE DAKOTA PLAINS
FIRST NATIONS.
I LIVE IN TORONTO, ONTARIO.

Lovely stands in front of a wooden porch. She runs up the stairs.
[Running feet]
Lovely says, WELCOME TO MY
HOUSE. COME ON IN.
Lovely sits on a bed.
[Upbeat music plays]
Lovely says, THIS IS MY ROOM.
MY FAVOURITE PART ABOUT
IT IS MY BED BECAUSE I HAVE
A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP AND
IT'S COMFORTABLE.
THIS IS MY NEW DRUM.
I MADE IT WITH MY MUM
AND MY GRANDMOTHER AND
I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO
PLAY IT YET.
THE COLOUR IS A MIXTURE
I THINK OF PURPLE AND PINK.
AND, LIKE, THE LITTLE FAIR WAYS
LOOKS LIKE A TREE THAT HAS
EYES. AND IT SITS ON MY BED.
Lovely holds an orange and black beaded medallion that resembles a basketball.
She says, THIS IS MY MEDALLION.
MY UNCLE MADE IT FOR ME. IT'S
SPECIAL BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS
MY FAVOURITE BASKETBALL TEAM.
THESE ARE MY DREAM CATCHERS
THAT CATCH ALL MY BAD DREAMS.
THIS IS MY BRAND NEW FANCY
SHAWL REGALIA. I RECEIVED IT
IN THE MAIL FROM A FRIEND
OF MINE. SHE MADE IT FOR ME
IN MANITOBA.
LET ME SHOW YOU HOW
IT LOOKS.
Lovely wears her shimmering blue regalia as she holds out her arms and spins.
Lovely says, TADA!
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT MY
FANCY SHAWL REGALIA IS THAT
IT HAS A SOUTH AFRICAN FLAG
ON EACH SIDE.
WHY? IS BECAUSE I'M PARTLY
SOUTH AFRICAN.
IN MY TRADITION, A FANCY
SHAWL DANCE IS A DANCE FOR
YOUNG WOMEN AND GIRLS.
WHEN I DANCE, I DANCE LIKE
THIS, TO REPRESENT THE WINGS
OF A BUTTERFLY.
Lovely dances.
[Chimes]
Lovely sits in a red camping chair. Colourful cube puzzles cover a table in front of her.
Lovely says, I'M AN EXPERT AT
THESE CUBES. I'M GONNA SHOW
YOU THE FIRST STEP TO GET
IT RIGHT.
[Upbeat music plays]
Lovely shifts pieces on a cube.
She says, SO, FIRST, YOU HAVE
TO MAKE A CROSS.
THE EDGE HAS TO BE CONNECTED
TO THE CENTRE, THE SAME COLOUR.
THEN YOU KEEP GOING.
[Clicking]
Lovely says, NOW, I'M GONNA
SHOW YOU A SOLVE.
THIS IS A TIMER THAT I USE
TO TIME MYSELF.
The animated raven flies up to watch Lovely solve the cube puzzle. As she turns the pieces, an animated timer counts upwards.
[Beep, fluttering, raven caws, clicking]
She says, I STARTED SOLVING
THE CUBES BECAUSE I THOUGHT
IT WAS REALLY COOL AND
I WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH
SOMETHING. IT'S SATISFYING
TO SEE MY FINGERS MOVE SO
FAST AND SEEING MY TIMES
GO DOWN.
[Beep]
She says, TWENTY-THREE SECONDS!
THAT'S MY PERSONAL BEST!

THE ROAD.

IT'S GOOD EXERCISE AND I LIKE
THE SMOOTH ROADS.

I ARE HUGE BASKETBALL FANS.
