Snowy Owl – wâpôhow. Thanks to Solomon Ratt and our friends at the Cree Literacy Network, especially Arden Ogg, who worked with Solomon and I, to put this simple animation together. First published at the Cree Literacy Network: https://creeliteracy.org/2024/03/16/s…

In March of this year, 2024, I contacted Solomon Ratt if I could animate his story of the snowy owl. He gave me permission and I went to work on the project with gusto, until I started having to deal with some personal issues. About a month later, my computer crashed and burned on me (not literally). I had to resort to using an old desktop a few generations below what my main PC was at. I was very disappointed at the way my luck was going at the time.

This past month, I ordered the parts I needed and I got my PC going again, even upgrading two generations above my previous build. With things going better in my life and with a better PC, I remembered this old project and proceeded to complete it. It took me four whole hours to take it from where I left off to finish it. I hope you enjoy it, I hope to produce more animations in the future.
