These people believe in the interconnectedness of all living things, and they maintain a strong bond with the natural world. They have great respect for the environment, and they follow sustainable practices. They depend upon oral traditions to pass down their history, stories, and teachings. Elders and storytellers have been transmitting this knowledge from one generation to the next. Most of these stories come with moral lessons they preserve the cultural heritage. You will be excited to know these during the History and Culture Exploration.
During the walking tour in Vancouver's Stanley Park, which will be led by a First Nations descendant and cultural ambassador, the tour talks a lot about how the aboriginal people have lived and managed the Indigenous Vegetation and Local Flora, land, the forest, and oceans for countless generations.
