Louis Says

LOUIS SAYS follows the adventures of Randy, an imaginative six-year-old boy who helps his community under the guidance of Louis, a kind-hearted Cree elder. Louis speaks mostly Cree which Randy doesn't fully understand, so before he can help anyone, Randy has to figure out the meaning of the traditional words, and this requires patience that he doesn't always have! Randy and his best friend Katie are learning as they go, and everything that Louis Says helps them both to grow! Each episode in Louis Says features stories that resonate with children and reinforce important values such as patience, respecting elders, helping others and teamwork.
