One of the biggest TV shows of the year is showcasing Indigenous designs from coast to coast.

Bone carvings, bead work and other Indigenous designs are hitting millions of households across North America on one of the biggest TV shows of the year.

Most of the designers worked on pieces worn by characters from the show's Water Tribe. The group in"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is inspired by Inuit and Yupik culture. Edmunds-Shiwak said she's been a fan of the show for years — ever since it was a critically acclaimed Nickelodeon cartoon — and felt the show's commitment to authenticity.

"I was looking around for every single person, trying to pick it out. And then when I saw it, I cried. I was so excited."Edmunds-Shiwak said she made first contact with show producers through a message on her small Etsy store. It's been a great opportunity for the part-time artist to show her work to the world.

"For my mom to see my work on Netflix, on the number 1 show in the world right now, she's over the moon."New details have come to light about the family that was at the centre of a daylight shooting in Regent Park on Tuesday afternoon.At the height of the Cold War, a statement like Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning to the West that his country is militarily and technically ready to deploy its nuclear arsenal would have shaken the world to its core.
