In this video, Dr. Jo-Ann Archibald (Q’um Q’um Xiiem; Sto:lo Nation) introduces protocols, processes, and procedures for including Indigenous stories in a classroom and identifies questions educators should ask when including Indigenous stories. Some of the questions include:
What are some of the cultural protocols or guidelines for various stories?
What are some of the purposes of stories?
Who can tell the stories?
What types of stories exist in their communities?
How to use the stories?
These protocols could have implications in how repositories of oral traditions identify and annotate records, and could affect how they make them available.
