'Everything is sacred to us. The buildings, the food, the sky, the dirt beneath your feet. And you.

Whether you believe in your spirit or not, we believe in it. You are a sacred person here, Wesley.' - lakanta [to wesley]

It was a show I'd often catch on APTN as a kid that I sometimes find myself thinking back to. I looked for the series for years after remembering it, but could never find anything on it until this year.

 As it stands there are only three clips of it I could find on YouTube. Which I'll link below. For those who don't know - which is a lot considering how obscure this show has apparently become - The Longhouse Tales was a show starring and co-produced by Cree actor and singer, Tom Jackson. It features a cast of animal puppets including a coyote, a fox, bear, wolverine and a skunk as a little kid. 

I think the skunk was adopted by the coyote and fox ? My memory's that fuzzy. Here's the shows intro

My memory of the show is fuzzy as all Hell, that I can only remember bits and pieces of it.

One episode I do remember (a little bit) featured a wendigo as the antagonist, and how it'd try to lure the skunk child away by mimicking the voice of his deceased mother. It was one of those episodes that sticks with you.

Anyways, I thought I'd bring it up, because I just found the show this year after years of searching. I'm wondering if anyone else remembers this show as well ?
