Listen to and comprehend a wide range of authentic First Peoples oral texts reflecting a variety of purposes, messages, and contexts, including texts relating to life lessons, individual and community responsibilities (rites of passage, family histories, creation stories, formal speeches).

First Peoples stories often have protocols for when and where they can be shared, who owns them, and who can share them because they are told by many people and passed down through generations. There are no recognized authors.
