Conclusion I learned a lot from these interviews. I learned how little I know about life as it was only one generation ago. I will be more aware of stories being told by the elders on the radio, television, and in the community. I also learned how we need to incorporate the elders into our education process. They were the ones who passed on knowledge and stories and they should be put back into their rightful place as our educators.
