- THE GIVING TREE by Leah Dorion
- GRANDPA'S STORY
- A SPECIAL MANITOBA MAPLE
- This is a retelling of the traditional Métis story about giving and receiving. It emphasizes the 12 core Métis values of strength, kindness, courage, tolerance, honesty, respect, love, sharing, caring, balance, patience, and the important connection with the Creator and Mother Earth.
- HONESTY AND RESPECT
- C'era una volta un albero: "un vecchio acero di Manitoba contorto". Mio nonno amava quell'albero e lo chiamava "l'albero della donazione". Aveva una cavità che era sempre piena di qualcosa di speciale per le persone di M é tis!
- CARING AND SHARING
- The Giving Tree was along a road halfway between the Métis villages. When Grandpa's family traveled by horse and wagon, they would stop by the tree to have a picnic of bannock, tea and pemmican. One day, they forgot the sugar for the tea! That's when Grandpa learned the magic of the Giving Tree!
- THE METIS WAY
- Grandpa's father told him that the Giving Tree was a special cache where the Metis people could communicate and share with others. It was a symbol of honesty and respect. When Grandpa looked inside he saw sugar, tea, tobacco, letters, flour, even moccasins! Grandpa said once there was even an engagement ring in the tree!
- If you took something from the tree, it was your responsibility to put something back in return. It was "the Métis way" to be kind, generous and helpful towards others. Grandpa's family borrowed sugar from the tree and they put pretty polka dotted handkerchiefs in return.
- My grandpa made me promise to tell my children about the Giving Tree and pass on to future generations the true spirit of the Métis and our values of honesty, respect, kindness and generosity: the "Metis Way."
