Relate story to First Nations elders
Resource compiled by Dr. Nicole
Bell:https://www.ictinc.ca/blog/aboriginal-elder-definition
Elders are
very important members of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit communities. The
term Elder refers to someone who has attained a high degree of understanding of
First Nation, Métis, or Inuit history, traditional teachings, ceremonies, and
healing practices. Elders have earned the right to pass this knowledge on
to others and to give advice and guidance on personal issues, as well as on
issues affecting their communities and nations. First Nation, Métis, and
Inuit peoples value their Elders and all older people, and address them with
the utmost respect.
Whenever
traditional feasts are held in First Nation, Métis, and Inuit communities, the
Elders and older people are often asked to offer prayers to bless the events or
to do the opening or closing ceremonies. They are also served first and
they never have to wait in line or are left standing if chairs are
unavailable.
VERY
CHALLENGING QUESTION
How
do the different narrative points of view in “What Happened During the Ice
Storm” and “I Confess” change our understanding of the character(s) actions?
