Significance
of Project and Educational Impact |
The seven grandfathers tell of the importance of giving our young children
the teachings (honesty, humility, truth, wisdom, love, respect, bravery) they
will need to guide them in their lives. These
teachings are found universally in other cultures, through stories, beliefs and
actions. We can all relate to them
and hope for them in our world. . Our
goal was to create book bags for each teaching which would include activities,
stories, legends, games and animals, to enhance the learning of these teachings
as universal.
