  • Indigenous Arts and Culture
CONT

Although not immune to the negative global effects of consumerism and industrialization, the wisdom keepers of aboriginal cultures continue to look to the values and teachings they received from nature and their elders.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Arts et culture autochtones
CONT

Les aînés des sociétés autochtones perpétuaient le savoir en intégrant leur système de croyances à la vie de tous les jours. Vivant en symbiose avec la terre, ils montraient aux jeunes les principes et valeurs essentiels à leur survie. Grands gardiens de la sagesse, on leur vouait un immense respect, parce que sans eux, le savoir se serait à jamais perdu.
