(1/3) Today's word is Oral Traditions:

Oral traditions have been central to Indigenous interpretations of Treaties. Indigenous understandings of Treaties are often based not on a given document’s legal language, but on the spirit and intent of what was discussed— ...
A way of passing knowledge, histories, teachings, and agreements from one generation to the next through spoken word. Oral traditions help preserve the spirit and intent of Treaty relationships across generations. Source: Source: Historica Canada: Treaties in Canada Education Guide
