Historical Indigenous education was transferred orally for thousands of years with very little disruption or inconsistencies therefore distinct meanings and connections were continuously addressed through one's lifetime through the wisdom of elder's legends and stories. Indigenous education can only be defined through the culture of the people themselves. In spite of the genocidal acts portrayed through colonialism's experimentation through religious doctrine, residential school, legislation, treaties broken and unbroken, reservations, and spiritual disregard, the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island remain living, breathing and believing that their history is alive through the oral stories of their beginnings and endings. Through the course of Indigenous history, cultural and spiritual knowledge remains, in many places as faint as the smoke rising from the embers of last night's fire in other places, with enough flame to ignite another log.
