We, as First Nations people, have used the moon for direction. The moon provides seasonal change and changing tides for us to harvest our food. “The story goes on and never changes” fits perfectly in respect to our people being here hundreds of years ago, harvesting, moving with the seasons, in the direction the moon tells us. And one hundred years from now, our children will move when the moon tells the seasons to change, and the story will go on and never change.
