In this assignment we had to create a short story, I think this is a good example of my “create and communicate core competencies”. This story relates to indigenous principles because in indigenous culture and teachings greed and dishonesty trigger bad karma. Learning from experiences and getting what your actions deserve is a common theme in indigenous learning. I believe indigenous principles are very important and the way they teach is one of the best ways to teach the up and coming generations. Reconciliation can be worked towards in may ways and awareness is one of the best ways in my opinion. Learning why the culture and teachings are just as important is huge for the preservation of the indigenous culture in Canada. Learning about how there are small elements of indigenous learning in all of life will work towards a greater understanding of there culture.
Creative thinking core competency.
Creating a story is not an easy task, even a short story. It took a bit of thinking at the beginning to get inspired and figure out what I was going to do. Taking all of your ideas and working them into a short story is no small task. I put a lot of effort into taking this story and giving it indigenous principles and teachings, learning through challenges and experiences is something I think is prevalent in indigenous teachings.
