First Nation Stories<\/a> with a focus on Woodland Cree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Indian Fairy Tales<\/a>: William Trowbridge Larned (c. 1867 \u2013 1928)<\/a> and Henry R. Schoolcraft (1793 \u2013 1864)<\/a>. Native Americans living in the Lake Superior region passed their cultural identity down through the generations by way of stories. Far more than mere tales to amuse children, they passed along the collective wisdom of the tribes. In the 1830s, government Indian Agent and ethnologist Henry R. Schoolcraft learned the language of these people and went out to collect and preserve their stories. Although these stories were recast as children\u2019s fairy tales in the 1920s, they contain much of the old wisdom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louis Bird, Cree Storyteller. \u201cOur Voices\u201d<\/a> audio recordings: \u201cThe archive of stories and interviews recorded by Louis Bird is the foundation of OurVoices.ca. In Aboriginal culture, teachings are passed from generation to generation in a rich tradition of storytelling. Louis Bird is a renowned Aboriginal scholar and storyteller. As part of OurVoices.ca and in conjunction with the Omushkego Oral History Project<\/em>, Bird will share \u2013 in Cree and in English \u2013 a sampling of the stories of the Omushkegowak or \u201cSwampy Cree\u201d people of the Hudson and James Bay Lowlands of northern Manitoba and Ontario. Bird is from Peawanuck Ontario and has shared his stories with audiences throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. In addition to performing traditional Cree legends, mystery stories, and oral history, Bird has devoted three decades to documenting Cree oral traditions. He began making audiotape recordings of the stories told by his elders in 1965. Today, his collection comprises more than 340 hours of material \u2013 the largest extant collection of such recordings. We are proud to be able to bring some of these recordings to OurVoices.ca.\u201d  (Intermediate, Middle School, High School)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
