Summary:
Culture flourishes with the sharing of knowledge between generations. Familiarity with traditional songs and stories creates a strong fabric of cultural literacy, but disconnection characterizes the First Nations experience. Teachings from the Half-Boy: A Cultural Homecoming offers insight for Elders, parents and residential school survivors seeking to reclaim and preserve traditional culture for their children. Learning from other Nations, participating in community activities and drawing inspiration from traditional stories are just a few of the strategies explored here. Resonating with the heart-pulse of the drum, the whisper of the river and the simple rhythm of the story-teller's voice, Teachings from the Half-Boy offers suggestions for increasing literacy and preserving First Nations heritage for an emerging generation.
