ANISHINAABE NATION.

ANISHANAABE.
I LIKE MY NAME
AND I LIKE BLUEBERRIES.
A map of Canada shows the Canadian provinces.
Miina says, I LIVE IN WINNIPEG WITH MY MOM
AND DAD AND CATS AND DOG.
Winnipeg is marked on the map in Manitoba. Miina stands in front of a house.
She says, THIS IS MY HOME WHERE ME AND MY
FAMILY LIVE AND WHY I'M WEARING
A ONESIE IS BECAUSE
I'M A ONESIE GIRL.
I WEAR ONESIES EVERY SINGLE DAY.
SO YOU'RE GONNA SEE ME
WEARING A ONESIE A LOT.
LET'S GO MEET MY FAMILY.
Miina runs into the house. She sits between a woman with long greying hair and a man with long black hair.
Miina says, THIS IS MY MOM
AND THIS IS MY DAD.
Miina’s mom and dad wave. Miina carries her cat through the kitchen.
She says, THIS IS MY CAT SIMON.
SAY HI SIMON.

She says, I LOVE HIM.
Miina stands in a bedroom.
She says, THIS IS MY BEDROOM.
THIS IS MY BED AND THIS IS THE
STAR BLANKET I GOT WHEN I WAS
FIRST BORN.
Miina gestures to the blanket laid out on her bed.
She says, IT'S COMFY TO LAY WITH
AND SLEEP WITH.
THIS IS A DINOSAUR EGG.
Minna takes her dinosaur egg off a shelf.
She says, A REAL DINOSAUR EGG.
THIS IS THE DINOSAUR.
IT'S COOL LOOKING.

BUT IT'S PURPLE.
Miina holds a necklace with a unicorn.
She says, AND HERE IS MY WINDOW SEAT AND
THESE ARE MY LED REMOTES SO I
CAN CHANGE THEM TO ANY COLOUR.
Miina changes the colour of LED lights in her bedroom. She climbs onto her bed from her window seat.
She says, AND THAT'S IT FOR MY BEDROOM.
BYE.
Miina sits on the bottom of a slide.
She says, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO NOW IS I'M
GONNA SING YOU A SONG WITH MY
DRUM.
THE SONG, THE OTHER KIND OF
SONGS I LIKE TO SING IS THE BEAR
SONG BUT THAT'S A
TRADITIONAL SONG.
THE REASON I CAN'T SING
CEREMONIAL SONGS IS BECAUSE
THEY'RE FOR CEREMONY.
CEREMONY IS SOMETHING
TRADITIONAL ALL THE INDIGENOUS
PEOPLE DO FOR WHAT
THEY BELIEVE IN.
Miina spreads water over her drum.
She says, AND I'M GONNA PUT WATER ON IT SO
THE SPIRIT OF THE ANIMAL CAN
DRINK THE WATER.
Miina plays her drum. She sings in an Indigenous language. The animated raven appears and watches her.
Miina says, WHAT IT MAKES ME FEEL
WHEN I SING IS GOOD.
STRONG.
THE SONG THAT I JUST
SANG WAS A LULLABY.
THE LULLABY IS FOR
BABIES TO GO TO SLEEP.
THIS IS HOW YOU SAY
SLEEP IN MY LANGUAGE.
NIBAA
Miina holds up a piece of paper with the word, nibaa written on it.
Miina says, NIBAA.
Text reads, sleep.
Miina says, IT MEANS SLEEP.
A sleep emoji snores. Miina stands behind a counter with a cutting board. Her mom works in the kitchen behind her.
Miina says, WHAT I AM DOING IS CHOPPING
CELERY FOR SOUP THAT ME AND MY
MOM ARE MAKING.
WHAT I'M PUTTING IN THE SOUP IS
CELERY, CARROTS, AND VEGETABLE
BROTH.
Miina cuts more vegetables.
She says, WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS SOUP
IS THAT IT'S VEGAN BECAUSE I'M
VEGAN.
VEGAN MEANS SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T
EAT MEAT, MILK, OR ANYTHING WITH
ANIMAL PRODUCTS IN IT.
Miina cuts celery.
She says, WHY I AM BECAME VEGAN IS BECAUSE
I DON'T LIKE THAT WE HAVE TO
KILL ANIMALS FOR OUR FOOD.
I'M STARVING.
I'M JUST GONNA HAVE 1 BITE.
Miina eats of piece of celery. Her mom laughs.
Miina says, I WAS TOO HUNGRY.
The raven appears and laughs. Miina stirs a pot of soup.
Miina says, THE PERSON WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO
MAKE A VEGAN SOUP WAS MY MOM.
Miina sits at a table with a bowl of soup.
She says, MMM.
DELICIOUS.
Text over a bowl of soup reads, Mmmm. Outside, Miina wears a blue dress with rainbow coloured sleeves and rows of metal cones hanging on the skirt.
She says, WHAT I'M WEARING
IS A JINGLE DRESS.
WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT MY JINGLE
DRESS IS THE FEELING I GET WHEN
I DANCE IN IT AND THE
COLOURS ON IT.
AND THIS IS HOW YOU
JINGLE DRESS DANCE.
(Drum music plays)
Miina dances with her hands on her hips. Her dress jingles.
She says, I MOSTLY DANCE AT POW-WOWS
IN MY JINGLE DRESS.
A JINGLE DRESS DANCE
IS A HEALING DANCE.
LIKE, YOU CAN HEAL UNDER PEOPLE
FROM DANCING OR YOU HEAL
YOURSELF.
(Singing)
Miina says, I LIKE THE NOISES THAT
MY JINGLE DRESS MAKES.
(Singing)
Miina’s dress continues to jingle as she dances.
She says, WHEN I DANCE FOR
PEOPLE I FEEL GOOD.
(Singing)
Miina sits beside the girl with blond hair.
Miina says, THIS IS MY FRIEND ADDIE.
SAY HI ADDIE.
Addie says, HI.
Miina says, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HANGING OUT
WITH ADDIE IS THAT SHE'S SUPER
SWEET AND UNDERSTANDABLE.
Addie says, WELL, I LIKE THAT MIINA'S VERY
KIND BECAUSE SHE'S MY BEST
FRIEND.
Miina and Addie walk side by side.
Miina says, EVERYTHING SMELLS SO
GOOD FROM MY GARDEN.
I HAVE AN APPLE TREE IN MY
BACKYARD AND A CHERRY TREE AND
GOOSEBERRY TREE BUT RIGHT
BEHIND ME IS MY APPLE TREE.
Miina and Addie carry plastic containers. Addie pulls an apple from the tree.
Miina says, NOW WE'RE GONNA PICK APPLES.
She picks an apple from the tree.
She says, PERFECT.
HERE, AN APPLE FOR YOU.

Miina says, I'VE BEEN FRIENDS WITH ADDIE
FOR, BEFORE I WAS BORN.
Addie picks an apple from the tree.
She says, LOTS OF THEM OVER HERE.
An apple falls from the tree.
Miina says, SOME FELL ON THE GROUND.
Addie laughs. The raven appears wearing sunglasses.
Miina says, WE LIKE EATING THE APPLES.
THAT'S WHY WE PICK 'EM.
Miina picks an apple from the tree.
She says, OKAY THERE.
On a “Miina Cam”, she looks at another apple on the tree.

Miina says, APPLE.
MY AUNTIE'S MAKING ME APPLE
CRUMBLE WITH THESE APPLES.
Miina and Addie kneel on the ground with small bird houses.
Miina says, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS
MAKING A FAIRY GARDEN.
She adds decorations to the location of her fairy garden.
She says, MUSHROOMS.
Addie says, IT'S FUN TO MAKE FAIRY GARDENS
BECAUSE IT'S NICE FOR THE
FAIRIES AND IT'S FUN TO DO.
She paints a bird house.
Miina says, THE COLOUR'S I'M GONNA PAINT MY
FAIRY HOUSE ARE PINK, WHITE AND
YELLOW.
Miina paints her bird house.
Addie says, WE'RE JUST PAINTING THE BIRD
HOUSES FOR THE FAIRIES.
Miina says, OR MAYBE BIRD WILL COME INSTEAD.
I WONDER IF THERE'S
SUCH THING AS FAIRY
SEEDS THAT WE CAN PUT
IN THERE TO
ATTRACT FAIRIES.
Addie says, I'M PUTTING ON THE EDGE A LITTLE
BIT OF A PATHWAY SO IT LOOKS
NICE.
She creates a pathway leading to her fairy house in the fairy garden.
Addie asks, WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE
PART ABOUT THE FAIRY GARDEN?
Miina says, I THINK MY HOUSE.
I THINK IT'S VERY CUTE.
Miina and Addie sit in the fairy garden.
Miina says, I HOPE THE FAIRIES
ARE READY TO MOVE
INTO THEIR NEW HOME.
Fairies fly into the homes. Miina and Addie swing on the swing set and giggle.
Miina says, I'LL TRY NOT
TO KICK IT.
The girls giggle.
Miina says, THANK YOU
FOR WATCHING.
GIGA-WAABAMIN NAAGAJ.
