The Wisdom of Folk Tales and Parables | Champlain in America

Learn about the cultural importance of parables as we listen to an animated native Innu Sagamo (chief), Anadabijou, teach Samuel de Champlain a valuable lesson through a traditional folk tale.

This resource can be used in conjunction with a unit on Indigenous peoples, folk tales/parables, storytelling, or European colonization of the Americas. Students explore the cultural value of storytelling and understand how it has been used to preserve history, pass down traditions, and communicate moral lessons.
