indigenous narratives

Indigenous narratives are traditional stories and histories that reflect the beliefs, values, and experiences of Indigenous peoples. They often explain how the world was created, the origins of animals and humans, and lessons for living harmoniously. These stories are passed down orally through generations and are vital for preserving cultural identity, knowledge, and connection to the land. They differ among communities but collectively offer insight into Indigenous worldview, emphasizing respect for nature, community, and spiritual beliefs.
