Seven Sacred Grandfather Teachings with Esther Osche

Grades 3 to 8 | 2 storytelling visits/ class | minimum 4 classes | limited availability
Social Studies: Heritage & Identity, People & Environments  / History & Geography / Science: Life Systems / Health & Physical Education: Healthy Living

The First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples of North America were given Seven Sacred teachings that form the foundation of their spirituality. The traditional concepts of respect and sharing that form the foundation of the Aboriginal way of life are built around these teachings where each teaching honours one of the basic virtues to achieve a full and healthy life and is represented by an animal whose characteristic serves to remind us of our connection to nature and to respect all living things.

This program brings Esther Osche into the classroom in partnership with Inner City Angels visual artist and sculptor Charmaine Lurch. Esther shares the Sacred Teachings to further students’ understanding of the interconnectedness of all things and the importance of balance and harmony in achieving a full and healthy life. Students listen to, discuss and reflect on the stories and then create a visual understanding of each.
