The Deerskins

The Deerskins (French Les Deerskin) is a Canadian Aboriginal-oriented cartoon show produced by JerryCo Communications And 9 Story Entertainment. It has aired on APTN and Teletoon since 2013, presently on 10:00pm Thursday nights in 2017.
Created and produced by Jerry Thevenet, the founder of JerryCo, "The Deerskins" relates the story of the title aboriginal family who have been forced to leave their reserve and now live in the town of Cheddarville, where the majority of the white people who live there have strange beliefs regarding Native peoples. They try to fit into this strange world, though they know it is a tough way of life. The show is produced in three languages: French, English, and Mohawk.
The show.
Unlike other cartoons of the time, the show is produced by the small crew of the JerryCo studios in Montreal entirely on ToonBoom Harmony software. Jerry Thevenet performs a majority of the work, such as screenplay, illustrating, and editing; with the assistance of Éric Héroux, Christopher Goodkey, Rick Thomas, Zee Risek, Paul Trineer, Denis Doucet and editor Marc Poirier. Also, despite having approximately 50 characters, there's only two voice actors: Paula Davis (for the female voices) and Shawn Youngchief (for the male voices). The score and title song were written by Paul Baraka.
