Produced by Wapos Bay Productions Inc. in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada and in association with Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.
An innocent Mother’s Day art assignment reminds T-Bear of his personal loss.
With the help of Devon and Talon, he decides it’s time for his father, Jacob,
to find a new wife. Their plan involves attracting anyone looking for love . .
. without telling Jacob. Meanwhile, Raven becomes obsessed with makeup and
looking mature—and learns that maturity comes from inside, not from how
colourful your face is.
