Roots of traditional Aboriginal worldviews teach that there are four interconnected parts to life including mental, physical, spiritual and emotional aspects. Looking at how culture exists also means looking into these four different, but symbiotic aspects of life. Today, the importance of understanding these aspects of culture are more broadly known and adopted. The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization explains that
"...culture should be regarded as the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs..."

This archive article (University of Saskatchewan) will explore Métis culture from the perspective of a traditional Aboriginal worldview framework.
