The following clips are from a presentation by Dr. Dwayne Donald, a professor at the University of Alberta in the Faculty of Education. As part of his talk, he explains that to understand Indigenous people we need to first understand the local stories of the land. In the second video, he tells two stories based on the Okotoks Erratic and the Mistaseni Rock in Saskatchewan. With these stories, he shows how the land is an important part of the identity of the Indigenous people in the area.
The ERLC YouTube channel has several other videos taken from his talk, as well as some other great resources related to Indigenous education.

Thanks or sharing, DeeDee. Dr. Donald is so easy to listen to. The story of the Buffalo Child rock is very powerful. A good reminder to appreciate place.
