Mooshum’s granddaughter is nervous about her school’s talent show. Mooshum tells her it’s okay to be nervous but to be confident – she comes from a family that love to perform and entertain. Natanis learns the following words: talent (mamahtawisik); fiddle (chiisapikahikan); jig (onimikitowak); square dance (waaskaasimowahk); sing (nikamot); guitar (pawastiipichikin); drums (mistikiwaskihk); band (nikamowak); clap (pakamichichihamat); and music (nikamowin).
