Elders' stories

Elders' stories are oral traditions shared by senior community members that convey cultural history, values, lessons, and collective experiences. These narratives help preserve identity, transmit cultural knowledge, and foster community bonds across generations. They often encompass personal histories, legends, moral lessons, and explanations of traditions or natural phenomena. By listening to Elders' stories, communities maintain a connection to their heritage, ensuring that important cultural practices and worldviews are passed down in an engaging and meaningful way.
