We all have opinions and perspectives. How are these shaped?

Our perspectives and opinions influence how we interact with our environment and each other. It is important we take the time to understand not only how our own perspectives have been formed and communicated, but also how those of others have been because:

• exploring and sharing multiple perspectives extends our thinking.
• our cultural identity shapes our perspectives.

Throughout this unit, we will take a look at nature and how we as humans interact with it. First Nations Peoples  have always been closely in tune with the environment. The foundation of their culture is very much linked to the environment and to respect for it. Click on the headdress to view a video on the Indigenous world view vs. the Western world view on nature.
