ABORIGINAL CULTUES & TRADITIONS: STORYTELLING
This site, joint project of the Aboriginial Digital Opportunities and the Aboriginal Youth Network, focuses on Aboriginal Storytelling. Storytelling has always been a vital part of the cultural identity of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. Stories were told to teach lessons, give warnings, and keep history alive. The stories featured in this collection were collected from the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples from all across Canada. The stories help to highligh and accentuate the rich & unique heritages, languages, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs of each group and nation.
