Today, the talking stick is a tool for families to use to enhance speaking and listening, share emotions without judgment, and learn from the experiences of others. Elders are always encouraged to speak first and everyone should listen with respect, compassion and support. We only speak if we have the talking stick in hand! When our turn comes, it is important to speak fairly and with your heart.
Discover Aboriginal culture as a family by making your own talking stick and performing a purification ritual, according to ancestral traditions.
