Keyword: First Peoples oral tradition Elaboration: Oral traditions are the means by which cultural transmission occurs over generations, other than through written records. Among First Peoples, oral traditions may consist of told stories, songs, and/or other types of distilled wisdom or information, often complemented by dance or various forms of visual representation such as carvings or masks. In addition to expressing spiritual and emotional truth (e.g., via symbol and metaphor), these traditions provide a record of literal truth (e.g., regarding events and/or situations). They were integrated into every facet of life and were the basis of First Peoples education systems. They continue to endure in contemporary contexts. In Canadian law, First Peoples oral history is valid evidence of ownership of the land. The Supreme Court of Canada recognizes that First Peoples oral histories are as important as written documents in considering legal issues.
