Description
Traditionally, nêhiyaw (Cree) laws are shared and passed down through oral customs—stories, songs, ceremonies, the use of lands, waters, animals, land markings and other sacred rites. On the other hand, the lack of the languages, customs, and traditions of Indigenous peoples as a right away results of colonization has necessitated this departure from the oral tradition to record the physical laws of the nêhiyaw. McAdam, a co-founder of the international movement Idle No More, shares nêhiyaw laws in order that long run generations, both nêhiyaw and non-Indigenous other people, would possibly remember and live by them to revitalize Indigenous nationhood.
