This poem is to me the essence of why the internet is such a valuable tool. Searching for story telling articles on the web led me to this page. It is just one poem – not much to review – but I felt I should include it because it made such a profound impact on me, and really defined where I wanted to go with my final paper.

This is a British Columbia Archives Presents the Amazing Time Machine site. On the left hand side, the site includes a list of 11 links which include: Families in BC History, Communities in BC History, First Nations’ Art in BC, The Cariboo Gold Rush, Mulitculturalism, Social Institutions, First Nations BC, Economy and Technology, BC Resource Development, and Art in BC History. There is also a Teacher’s Corner link. This is a very simple site but with some good resources if you have the time to spend looking at all the links since there is no search option.
