Indigenous Peoples in Modern World

Telling Stories

In the children's rhyme "Three Little Kittens," the kittens lose their mittens and get no pie; when they find their mittens, the reward is pie after all. Children in the cultures that recite this rhyme learn the value and finer points of responsible behavior—a participant observer could learn much about the culture, values, and identity of the people who tell this story. In this Discussion, you will explore the power and value of stories to indigenous peoples, cultures, and communities.

1) Find a story about a life event (birth, death, marriage, etc.) from an indigenous community.

2) Explore the meaning of the story, its symbols, and their relation to life in an indigenous community, including that community's worldview or political will. For example, does a lesson or moral in a story give a clue to the important values held by the community?

3) APA formatting.
