John Friesen offers an insightful overview of Aboriginal cultures across the country in terms of their history, lifestyle, specialties and spirituality.

Each cultural configuration is introduced by a local tribal legend to demonstrate the teaching/learning impact and efficacy of the oral tradition.".…
