Luca is a 10-year-old boy who is Algonquin from the Timiskaming First Nation. He lives in Montreal, Quebec. He shows us his hand drum that has both his English and traditional names on it. Luca and his best friend Jonah are on the swim team together, and love learning how to race in the pool. He got a trophy for “Most Improved,” that he shows us in his room. He also shows us his hockey medals and his mini-chicken farm! After he introduces us to his family, he explains his very special job – he’s in charge of all the smudging. He demonstrates with his shell, feather and sage before his sister Sophianne performs a tobacco ceremony. Luca also loves to play video games, and makes online video tutorials to share all his tips and tricks. He’s got a pretty cool set-up! Luca, Jonah and Sophianne take an ice-cream break, and then back home he’ll show us the wood carving he's doing! Luca’s special word is “makwa” which means “bear” in the Algonquin language.
