For my First Nations Research project, I have been researching about the importance of Elders. I've learned a lot of things. I've learned that you don't always have to be old to be an Elder. If someone acquires a certain amount of wisdom and knowledge, the Elder title could be bestowed on them. Now, the community has a lot to do with this, if the community does not respect the person about to become an Elder, then the odds are that person isn't going to become an Elder.
There are still some things that I want to know, like, When did Elders get so important in the First Nations community? How do the Elders remember their stories so well? All of these questions I'm sure I will learn in my further research.
