Ce film d’animation peut fournir des pistes pour découvrir les cérémonies et les traditions autochtones. Quelle est la signification de la cérémonie du calumet par rapport à un groupe donné de Premières Nations? Renseignez-vous sur la différence importante entre fumer la pipe lors d’une cérémonie et fumer des cigarettes en tant qu’habitude ou dépendance quotidienne. Pourquoi est-il important de se renseigner sur le mode de vie des Premières Nations auprès de membres des Premières Nations? Pourquoi est-il important de comprendre que chaque Première Nation peut avoir son propre ensemble de légendes et de croyances qui sont considérées comme sacrées? En quoi la tradition orale est-elle une méthode importante de transmission des modes d’existence dans les contextes autochtones?
