"I am from the Mikmaq tribe in Nova Scotia. I am a caregiver here at the rez and would like to compliment you all for your wonderful program "Tipi Tales". I tape the program every Saturday and the children just love watching it! They learn a lot of the songs, and the life lessons that are taught in the show. We are very grateful here at Chapel Island Daycare for the wonderful job that you have done in bringing this beautiful program into our center. Thank you."

"Hi! I just want you to know that from the moment I saw the first show I
was so impressed, as I had finally found a way of expressing my
philosophies to my new son. I have so much respect for the knowledge
of our native peoples, and I want to learn so much more. The whole
belief system is so truthful and honest, and I want to be able to teach
this to my son. I find that each new lesson helps ME through my life's
obstacles too! I thank the heavens that you have shared your creative
love with all of us. Keep up the great work!"

"I can"t believe the perfection of every small detail-the talent displayed
throughout the program is absolutely breathtaking. We try to show our
kids that their culture is extremely valuable and important. I can not say
how validating it is to have a program such as Tipi Tales on television. I
believe it sends all kids the message that this culture is worth attention
and respect."

"I have seen Tipi Tales a few times, and enjoy it very much. My daughter Satinka also
enjoys it. When she hears the music and drum beat she tries to dance... it is so sweet to see
her do this."

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Great show, everything I want to teach my child (now 3 years old). We are a
"shamanic" family and work with the animal spirits, etc. We love your show
and support it 100%, and are spreading the word."

"I"m just writing to tell you about my evening. My three year old was playing
in the front room while I was doing some surfing on the Internet. I figured I'd
change channels so he could watch something. We came across your program
and he was quiet, for a change, watching. Hehe, I was watching too. I was
very happy to see the program and the values that it conveyed to my
youngster."
... Jeremy Russell, Kanai Board of Education
"I"ve caught the show the past two weekends, and have to say that it is the
best program on APTN!!!!!!!!"
