“And so I say to you, the EuroCanadians; you have discovered our land and its resources, but you have not yet discovered my people nor our teachings, nor the spiritual basis of our teachings.”
–Chief John Snow, Wesley Band, Stoney Nation
This collection of sayings reflects the depth and magnitude of First Nations’ wisdom and underscores the tremendous appreciation which the Indigenous Peoples had (and have) for life, the earth and one another. And all of it is anchored on a deep sense of gratitude to the Creator. Enjoy! There is much to be learned here.
