TIPI TALES uses songs and short vignettes to teach the seven sacred laws of Aboriginal spiritual beliefs that make the spirit strong. Through puppetry the series depicts the lives of cousins Sam, Junior, Russell and Elizabeth as they learn the tools of life from the forest, forest animals and their great-grandparents. The forest animals that the cousins encounter embody the seven ancient aboriginal laws: Eagle embodies love; Buffalo embodies respect; Bear embodies courage; Sabe (Bigfoot) embodies honesty; Beaver embodies wisdom; Wolf embodies humility; and Turtle embodies truth. In TOO MANY WORDS, Elizabeth tries to teach Sam and Junior to count to five in Ojibway, but she spits out all the words so fast, the youngsters cannot catch on. Elizabeth decides she is much smarter than Sam and Junior. But, when Elizabeth's great-grandmother gives her a whole pile of quilt pieces at one time and asks her to put them together, Elizabeth fails miserably. Wolf helps her realize that learning is done step by step, or one piece at a time. <14mn 20s>
