Oral Tradition
The First Nations of Canada have a rich oral tradition.
For centuries, stories have been shared by elders, families, and friends. From ancient times to today, the oral tradition of passing on information through story and song continues.
Stories are told to help younger generations carry on traditions, to share knowledge about the world, and to learn how to be a positive and contributing member of a community.
