M3 Entry 3: How The Turtle Got Its Shell

I find great value in inviting an Elder into my classroom, but we don’t always have the opportunity. I feel that a story such as the one I’ve linked above can be valuable in its own way. I like the way that Elder Hazel Dixon is telling this classic story of what happened when Turtle met Nanabush the Trickster. I can sense her enthusiasm as she orally tells the story. This is presented with the support of SaskCulture and their partners in education at Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation.

Below are a few other YouTube clips of stories told by Hazel Dixon:
