Oral history entails listening and gaining knowledge from the stories of the past. Embedded in the old story telling traditions, oral history happens all the time around dinner tables, classrooms, coffee shops, and along trap lines (McGregor 2018). Oral tradition also occurs between generations, among teachers and students, historical actors, and researchers (McGregor 2018). Listening to oral history depends on the people involved and the type of participants learning and sharing: past experiences, understanding of events, practical skills and listening to sacred teachings (McGregor 2018). The first people of Canada living in the country today have been there for more than 11,000 years. Throughout that period, they have lived well in harsh surroundings, making all basic requirements without negatively effecting the environment (McGregor 2018). Also, they never decimated the animal population or damaged the land they lived in (McGregor 2018). Understanding the oral traditions of indigenous people of Canada helps one learn how they influences their lifestyle. The indigenous people of Canada lacked a system of writing information based on alphabet; however, they had a strong oral tradition. Therefore, the preservation of knowledge about events and mattes of historic importance was made successful by passing information from one generation to the other (Hanson 2021). There were specific people in the tribes who had full understanding about the history of the community and transferred this knowledge to others in special gatherings. Tales of significant events were told and retold around the campfire, as narratives were told everywhere (Hanson 2021). Additionally, these people had different ways of recording events, to activate the memories of those relating the events. For instance, wampum belts had pictures woven in them to narrate a story. Dsrawings on hide or bark were also used to preserve a record of events (Hanson 2021). Therefore, information about important events of the people was preserved and could be transferred from generation to generation through word of mouth. Moreover, they were able to remember some of these events by viewing messages written on their attires. The indigenous people, such as the Métis people, passed their accounts, legends and family remembrances down through the oral tradition. All through the “Métis Nation Homeland,” transmission of their culture took place via the oral traditions, usually through the “Old people” or Elders. This is because the elderly were traditionally known to possess vast knowledge about the community (Dubois 2017). Therefore, through some aspects of oral tradition such as story telling elders were able to pass beliefs of the community to the young generation influencing how they felt as part of the whole community. Generally, all traditional indigenous stories have a non-linear narrative and thus they lack a real foundation, central point or end. Indigenous people’s stories are often continual and can be passed over with time (Castleden et al., 2017). The narratives are structured and have different implications; therefore, individuals from various geographical locations will interpret the oral stories differently (Castleden et al., 2
