Alfred Manitopeyes, respected Saulteaux Elder, gave Linda Akan something to share with those who work in First Nations education.

The author's discussion of the structure points out that the powerful metaphor of good talking and good walking is more than metaphor, but is also a direct and clear statement o f the personal ethical responsibility o f teachers and educators to care intimately for children and to live in such a way that our words reflect the way we live. The immediately personal nature of Elder discourse, even in a genre intended for wide publication, motivates a reflexive arid personal reaction to the Elder's good talk. |
