    A graphic logo for "Creator Network" featuring black sans-serif typography set against a textured, off-white background. The text is surrounded by vibrant, abstract geometric shapes—including a bright green semicircle, a pink shape with a black circle above it, and various orange, red, and black semicircles. The letter "o" in both "Creator" and "Network" is uniquely styled with colorful, geometric fills.

    A compilation of Indigenous stories by the Creator Network, with opening and closing remarks by CBC Cree journalist Vanna Blacksmith.

    🎞️La Brigade - s2.e13, “We don’t talk to the director”
    • Duration: 24 minutes
    • Show time: 3:45 pm daily in the theatre
    • Language: French  

    An animated group of diverse children and adults posing cheerfully in front of a school building. In the foreground, a sign reads "Centre scolaire Louis-Riel" with a Métis sash pattern along the bottom. The characters include a girl with short purple hair and a feather earring cheering in the center, a boy in a yellow wheelchair, a young man flexing in an orange sweater, a man in a blue jumpsuit, and other smiling students and school staff.

    Inspired by their Franco-Métis heritage, Sara and her friends at Louis-Riel High School formed a student committee: the Brigade. Together, they challenge authority and question the rules imposed on them, or even occasionally try to impose their own, with results that are sometimes, shall we say… mixed! Like all teenagers, these young people are looking to make their voices truly heard, just like their Métis ancestors in the Red River Valley in 1869-70.
