Teaching Indigenous Wisdom: Embracing Stories as Pathways to Knowledge

In today's rapidly changing world, teachers must recognize and embrace the importance of Indigenous Ways of Knowing. These unique ways of understanding the world have been passed down through generations of Indigenous communities and hold a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that can enrich our understanding and teaching practices.

Indigenous Ways of Knowing are deeply rooted in storytelling. For Indigenous communities, storytelling is a form of entertainment and a way of transmitting knowledge, cultural values, and history. Through storytelling, the rich tapestry of Indigenous wisdom is woven, connecting past, present, and future. Teachers can tap into this ancient tradition by understanding and appreciating the power of storytelling.
