When I was older, I became enthralled with the idea of epistemology. What is knowledge, and how do we come to understand it? In a Western worldview, the question can be difficult, burdened by philosophical “thinkers” who try to understand the intricacies of what they sometimes label as a “problem.” In an Indigenous worldview, it was simpler. Experience and storytelling. With a foundation of this worldview and my own cultural experiences, I began to gather stories.
For many Indigenous Peoples, passing down knowledge and experience came through the vehicle of orality in storytelling.
