Module 3: Post 4: Tansi TV

Tansi means hello in the Cree language.  This website is an interactive online educational resource for teaching children the Cree language.  The website has a TV program connecting the adventures of the main characters with Cree culture and learning words.  It also has sing along videos and dancing.  There are also modules that teach basic Cree words and continues to build upon the vocabulary.  There are also resources for educational extension activities.

I think this website will help young children become interested in learning the Cree language.  Media is often broadcasted in dominant languages.  In having media programs in Indigenous languages young children are not only exposed to the language but learn the Indigenous values
