Within the pages of this document you will find the whispers of ways of being that have come to live within my heart as I journeyed towards obtaining a mainstream education through participation in the oral transmission of knowledge. As a member of the Stl'atl'imx Nation, I needed to honour the ways of knowing that are traditional to my people in the fulfillment of the requirements for my Master's degree in First Nations Studies. In doing so, I have recorded on my heart the teachings so gently shared with me .Through blending the understandings I have gained from both the academic and Indigenous worlds, this thesis represents the possibilities that await us when we seek to honour and value diverse ways of knowing. --P.i.
