Storytelling through First Nations Perspective;
Useful for drama, self-confidence, parents and
grand-parents, this workshop will share with you the
importance of the spoken word, memory and teachings
within the words. Before there were books, there
were storytellers…
The
importance of Storytellers to First Nations was
vast. We are the teachers, the historians and the
entertainment. Weaved within the words of the
storyteller were the teachings that our youth needed
and still need to this day. Learning how to share
the gift of imagination with our youth is a skill
that could well be used by many educators in many
different ways...

History through First Nations Eye’s;
During this interactive workshop, participants will
begin to see the difference between two nations as
they collided to create a new one. Canada as well

storytelling, historical interpretation and audience
participation, this workshop is sure to open your
eye’s to the First Nations view of History.
