Seven Grandfather Teachings: Character Development
In this program, students learn about The Seven Grandfather Teachings, also known as The Seven Sacred Teachings. This is a set of teachings on human conduct towards others. They are what was traditionally and still is needed in order for communities to survive. The teachings - love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility and truth - cannot be used in isolation and are interdependent. The program is hosted by Curve Lake First Nation entertainer Missy Knott and viewers also meet Coast Tsminshian First Nation Elder and educator, Shannon Thunderbird, who explains each teaching. Elder Thunderbird describes the virtues of being a good person, of taking care of one another and of taking care of the Earth.

Which Way Should I Go?
In this story, a happy young boy named Joey loves his grandmother very much and spends a lot of time singing and dancing with her. Joey's grandmother is always giving him pleasant choices to make, such as whether to have applesauce with cinnamon or with ice cream, and he especially enjoys his grandmother's Tla-o-qui-aht song "Waa-yee-seekee aakx kuu" which means "Which way should I go?" One day, Joey's grandmother dies and he experiences a very dark period when he feels that there is no point in choosing anything. Joey, however, feels his grandmother's presence through a vision of her and the sound of her song and he realizes that although he did not have a choice regarding his grandmother's death, he can make choices regarding his own life. From that time on, Joey's appreciation for all life has to offer is expressed through dynamic song and dance. Colourful, full-page illustrations support the easy-to-read text. The afterword explains what the First Nations "Waa-yee-seekee aakx kuu" song means to co-author Ron Martin.
