Indigenous Societies Values and Beliefs

Origins of the world Each First Nations group have a unique belief about how the earth was created and how people came to exist. These beliefs or Traditional Teachings are past down through Oral Storytelling (Culture) from generation to generation.

Origins of the world EX: Haudenosaunee Origin Story & Turtle Island. Pg. 9 Mi’kmaq origin story

Land They shaped their way of life to fit the land Ex: Snow Igloos for the Northern Inuit vs wooden log houses for southern Haudenosaunee

Land ownership Because land was a gift from the Creator, full ownership of land was not possible Believe the land belonged to everyone, including plants and animals. This is completely different to how most Canadians view land today

nature Believed that humans should change themselves to fit their environment, and not the other way around. French and British settlement changed the environment and restricted the access to the land for First Nations

nature People are not separate from Nature or from the non-living world. Everything on earth is connected to everything else Therefore, people must live in harmony with each other and in balance with nature

elders Highly value the wisdom and experience of elders as they were the Keepers of Knowledge Can we say that is true of us today in Canada? In Calgary? In O.L.G? In your family?

The Circle as a symbol All of the values of Indigenous peoples are embodied in the symbol of the circle The circle promotes some of the following ideas: Life is circular (ex: the life cycle, the water cycle, seasons, etc) All parts are connected and are included in a larger whole All parts are equal (important and valuable) Think to some of the values we disused earlier – how do they connect to the circle?
