Tiga Talk Season II- IV Cree
Kimmie and Jason have a secret - whenever all the adults leave the room, their plush toy wolf Tiga comes to life to teach the kids all the stories, sounds and languages he has learned from their Kokum. Kokum spends her days taking Tiga along on her visits to First Nations Reserves in British Columbia, exploring aboriginal language and culture with young children and Elders. Every evening - in the children's quiet time before bed - Tiga comes to life to play with, sing and teach Kimmie and Jason and all the children watching them on TV. He recounts his adventures of the day and shares the stories, sounds and new languages he has learned. But every time Kokum (or any other adult) is around, Tiga turns back into a stuffed toy. Only Kimmie, Jason and the children watching at home are in on the secret.
Food Prep
There's no foodles like oodles of noodles! The Magic Words are WASH, COOK, EAT. Tiga and the puppets learn how to prepare and cook food and conclude that there's no kind of foodles like oodles of noodles! Kokum and Tiga travel by kayak to a clam dig, enjoy the traditional paddle dance at the beach feast, and are forewarned about cooking when you're in a muddle!
Dwellings
The children learn what it takes to make a Dwelling, safe from rain. The Magic Window words are ROOF, WALLS, DOOR. The children and Tiga listen to the sounds of rain as they learn about different dwellings: a warm cozy teepee, drafty caves, houses on wheels, and about the kinds of animal homes in a story entitled Where do you live?
Keep Trying
Tiga, Jason and Jodie keep Trying to Succeed with their physical exercise Goals. The Magic Window words are GOAL, KEEP TRYING, SUCCESS. This episode is filled with physical challenges: Tiga and cohorts keep trying to reach their goal for Jumping Jacks, Jason and Jodie build and climb a make-believe mountain, elders paddle hard in racing canoes, and a robin learns to sing his song.
Safety
Jodie's hurt wrist inspires learning about Safety at home and beyond. The Magic Window Words are STOP, BE CAREFUL, GO. Safety starts at home - Jodie's fall from a tree and her hurt wrist inspires the theme of this episode. The puppets and children learn that you need to "think before you do", get advice from a fireman and his truck, build a toy boat with safety gear and learn how to make sure that they stay safe at home and out in the world.
Food
Jodie and Jason discover how Food gets from the earth to their hungry stomachs! The Magic Words are FISH, CORN, BERRIES. The children and Tiga learn that hunger makes you grumpy! They discover just how much work goes into growing and gathering food and that different creatures need different kinds of food. They travel on a fishing boat, hear a story about planting corn and visit a vegetable garden - everyone goes to bed with freshly picked berries in their stomachs!
