Module 1: Post 2: Legends

This website provides Aboriginal legends in both English and Oji-Cree language, it is provided as an audio clip or written in text in both languages.  This is a useful site for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples.  Legends can show and teach values which are embedded in the story.  It can also be used as a teaching resource if one is searching for Aboriginal created material in either language nests or in mainstream classrooms teaching about Aboriginal people.  It is also available in the Oji-Cree language for Aboriginal peoples who wish to listen to stories being told in their traditional language.  I read one legend that was about a young man with strong morals, despite his desire to do the right thing many challenges and obstacles came in his way, this is a story of how the creator showed him the way to overcome problems in his life.
