Would you like to learn how to appropriately approach a First Nations, Métis or Inuit Elder with a request? Do you want more information on the significance of tobacco and on how to honour reciprocity through gift-giving? These are all aspects of protocols, or rules of etiquette, and because they are unique to each local area, it is wise to connect with someone from the community who knows the local protocols. The digital resource Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum from Alberta Education provides many examples and practical ways of respecting and honouring the various and distinctive protocols throughout the First Nation, Métis and Inuit communities in Alberta. For a sample from this resource, hear Audrey Weasel Traveller speak about protocols integral to respectful relationships within First Nation, Métis and Inuit communities. This interview is located in the Respecting Wisdom section of the Worldviews topic area.
