Stories Connect Us
Traditions and culture are shared through many ways such as storytelling, music, dance, art and food. Storytelling is a way to understand yourself, your community, and the world at large. It allows you to understand your heritage and helps us see how our past is still important today. For First Nations, as the original inhabitants of Canada, their stories are often very connected to the land.
They have stories about how to live off the land, how to respect the creatures of the land, and how to interact with each other. You will get to experience First Nations' stories in the upcoming pages in this lesson.
