Colouring Activity
The colours you choose can tell a story!
In many Indigenous cultures, storytelling is very important. Stories help teach lessons, share history, and pass down knowledge from Elders to younger generations. Art is one way of telling these stories. Stories in art can be through shapes, symbols, and colours that show connection to the Land and to family. For many Indigenous peoples across Canada, colours come from the Land and have been used in art for thousands of years.
