i finished chief of war series and thought it was amazing! to see our history, our language, and our culture displayed so beautifully on screen made me feel so much pride.

granted they did change/merge some things from history for storytelling purposes, which i understand. but overall i liked it.

I think this is actually a great idea. The earlier you learn about how to manage your finances, learning about loans, credit cards, etc the better prepared you'll be to navigate this stuff in adulthood.
