Connecting the Six Coast Salish Animals to the Core Competencies


"There are some who think man is the wisest of creatures and those who know nature to be the best".  

We read the story "The Six Cedar Trees" - Illustrated  by Coast Salish artist/author Calestine Aleck and cultural edits for the animal characteristics by C. Aleck and Terri Mack  and learned many lessons from our Pacific Northwest Coast animals that help us develop a deeper understanding of ourselves.                                       

  • Communication - I can share my thinking like WOLF.                             
  • Creative Thinking - I can be creative like RAVEN.
  • Critical Thinking - I can be critical like SALMON.                                     
  • Personal Awareness and Responsibility - I can be reflective like BEAR.
  • Personal and Cultural Identity - I can honour my roots like ORCA.
  • Social Responsibility - I can make the world a better place like BEAVER.
