''Spirit Bay'' was an aboriginal family television show of 13 half-hour episodes that aired on CBC Television and TVOntario from 1982 to 1987. The show focuses on the lives of townsfolk on an Ojibwe reservation town near MacDiarmid, Ontario. Here, the residents have adapted to white society while retaining traditional links to the land through fishing, trapping and hunting. The show details the spiritual kinship between Spirit Bay families, nature, and modern life on the reserve from a young person's viewpoint. Being the first true aboriginal television series, it set the stage for all other native Canadian programming thereafter (such as ''The Rez'', ''North of 60'' and ''Moccasin Flats''), and paved the way for many famous first nations, Canadian actors. Episodes were rebroadcast in the United States on the Disney Channel. ==Notable actors from the series== *Trevor 'Tre' Smith as "Rabbit" *Graham Greene as Pete "Baba" Green *Tom Jackson as Will Littlebear *Tantoo Cardinal as Rabbit's foster mother Annie *Gary Farmer as Hack's uncle Cheemo *Shirley Cheechoo as Elton and Tonka's mother *Monique Mojica as Mavis and Hack's mother Gloria *Margo Kane as the school teacher Mrs. Walker Lesser known elder actors included: *Gladys Taylor as Teawash *Colleen Loucks as Aunt Lily Shebagabow *Ron Cook as Baba Shebagabow (Minnow and Tafia's father) *Blake Debassige as Annie's husband Ron *Doris Linklater as Pete's wife Connie Green *Peter Krantz as Coleman (Hack's Uncle) Noted elder aboriginal actor George Clutesi (who played Old Bernard) appeared in two episodes.
