New youth series Les Autochtones, tu connais? and Théo le loup to be broadcast on TFO starting June 20.

TORONTO, June 23, 2022 /CNW/ - From June 20 to June 26, TFO will celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of Canada's First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples through its programming. Starting June 20 at 7 p.m., TFO will air Les autochtones, tu connais?, a youth series produced by Julie O' Bomsawin, as well as Théo le loup.

Les Autochtones, tu connais? is an opportunity for young viewers to learn more about Indigenous cultures. The show covers various themes, such as music, arts, Indigenous diversity, traditional knowledge, food, spirituality, clothing and dress, and living together. With such a wide range of topics, Les Autochtones, tu connais? offers new perspectives and seeds of reflection to fuel discussions that ensure a better understanding of Indigenous peoples.

Theo le loup is an animated series featuring three Indigenous children who use their totem powers to help the inhabitants of Turtle Bay through various unforeseen situations. The series showcases seven precepts that all Indigenous Peoples try to follow in life: truth, respect, honesty, humility, wisdom, courage, and love. Rich and varied themes such as the humanities, customs, and traditions of Indigenous peoples make these episodes an invaluable resource to be discovered.
