Lesson 1 - Generalization and Rationale

Generalization

Beliefs and values influence behavior

Rationale

Aboriginal People maintain a special connection and certain respect for the plants, trees, and roots that were developed by the Creator. In fact, Aboriginal People harvested many plants, roots and berries for medicinal and spiritual purposes. Respect for nature combined with traditional knowledge of the many uses for foliage is an important aspect of Aboriginal spirituality that students will be introduced to.
