Namid & Star Dancing

By Jane L. Fitzpatrick – As Moon Drake’s writing team moves closer to completing the episodes for Season TWO, we have been blessed and changed by the research required. The vibrant and inspiring cultures of this Earth teach us lessons in Humility, Diversity and love for Humanity. It is our prayer and hope that what we’ve learned as writers translates into a transparent understanding for children – and also for adults.

Today I completed Episode 2.1, “Namid & Star Dancing” – which takes place in Vancouver B.C., Canada (N. American Continent). The Soul of this story is the Metis Nation – a brave and courageous People who have struggled for generations to be recognized and respected.

Ami (Namid) is a 12-year-old girl who experiences great personal loss in her life. But her spirit is renewed when she learns she is Metis – and the wisdom from her great-grandmother shows her how to rise above her heartache, to ultimately gain great joy.

I was hoping to finish this story by today, the birthday of another 12-year-old girl (now 233-year-old), Sacajawea. I see parallels between these two spirits, for they both endured heartache at a young age, and they both claimed their gifts to inspire the world.

We are OVER THE MOON! ❤
