“Stories allow us to see things in a light that allows us to make our own sense of them.” (Revised, 2012)

Who tells the stories and how well they are told will create an individual’s worldview. The story allows the individual to make their own judgements and interpretations of each story that will develop the individual's worldview.

“Literacy and misinformation that keep us boxed in”. (Sheperd, 2018)

There are many areas of misinformation in today’s social media that change or persuade people’s perceptions and worldviews on topics like global warming. There is sound scientific data that supports the topic that humans are a major contributor to global warming yet non-credited media can easily persuade the general public’s views.

“Indigenous and academic science communities have opportunities to find common ground on many fronts,” (Lee, 2022)

The indigenous people learn from stories passed down from many generations that promotes the worldview from the tribal perspective. Modern science may contradict such stories and cast doubt on some of the details that took place in the story. There are parts of the story that can help explain the lay of the land, weather and ect. Science can take those aspects from the stories to hopefully better explain the scientific side.

“Plants are teaching tools. They tell us when and where they grow, where and how they multiply. They anchor soil, provide food for other animals and often grow in harmony, preferring the company of some plants while remaining distant or even inhibiting the growth of others” (Raven, 1998)

This perspective and learning method promote respecting plant life and would trend towards a more environmentalist worldview.
