In Kiss of The Fur Queen by Tomson Highway and Lightfinder by Aaron Paquette‚ storytelling by elders to a younger generation is shown to be a significant part of Indigenous culture and life. In both these novels storytelling portrays the lack of knowledge the younger generation have of their history‚ and how in some instances it can be an outcome of western influence.
