CONT

En général, des témoins sont appelés à être des gardiens du savoir lorsqu'un événement d'une importance historique se produit. Ce rôle leur est en partie confié en raison des traditions orales des peuples autochtones, mais aussi pour reconnaître l'importance d'agir et pour établir et entretenir des relations.
