Tanadèle’s family, a flock of Canadian geese, has been migrating south from the Northwest Territories for centuries. When a flock of crows moves in on their historic resting place, the geese are forced off their land and struggle to survive throughout the cold and harsh winters. Will Tanadèle and her flock be able to make peace with the crows and live in harmony again?

This story seeks to teach children about Aboriginal rights, which are guaranteed in section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. Section 35(1) states that “[t]he existing Aboriginal and treaty rights of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed.”

La Charte pour les enfants introduces children to the basic principles of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Each story is set in a different province or territory of the country and each addresses a different right or freedom in the Charter. The series seeks to empower children by providing them with a basic awareness of their rights and by fostering a respect for the fundamental values that Canadians cherish.
