The
world view of the First Nations peoples can best be summarized by the First Nations
themselves:
"First Nations worldview representes a unique perspective
of the world and the interconnectedness to one another in the circle of life. Each Nation has
their own ceremonies, protocols, and ways of relating and living this perspective. The main
element of the worldview is to live in harmony with all created things and to ensure that all is
in balance with one another. The worldview considers all things of the natural world to have a
spirit, equally valued and that we cannot live one without the other. We experience worldview
through oral traditions, ceremonial practices, stories, and dance. There is a balance of the
spiritual, physical, emotional, and intellectual self. First Nation peoples acknowledge the
Creator as the giver of life."...
