Thesis (M.A.)--Simon Fraser University (Canada), 1998.
Language is a pervasive educator. It shapes and expresses people's understanding of the world they experience. In environmental education, language conveys an understanding of the natural environment. Analysing language, through metaphor, allows one to discern the way a particular culture understands and experiences the natural environment. This study examines, through metaphor, the discourses about nature that prevail in Western and Aboriginal cultures.

Language is a pervasive educator. It shapes and expresses people's understanding of the world they experience. In environmental education, language conveys an understanding of the natural environment. Analysing language, through metaphor, allows one to discern the way a particular culture understands and experiences the natural environment. This study examines, through metaphor, the discourses about nature that prevail in Western and Aboriginal cultures.

This thesis uses language as a point of departure for studying nature. Attending to the nuances of language, especially in the light of the importance aboriginal cultures place on story as a means of transferring knowledge and understanding, influenced me to combine the uses of personal narratives, story and analytical text to create a text of shifting metaphors about nature.

Examining the language concerning nature revealed the conceptual metaphors of NATURE IS A RESOURCE (Western Judeo-Christian culture) and NATURE IS A FAMILY MEMBER (Aboriginal). Nature seen through the "eyes" of Westerners is understood as a resource. Nature is objectified, conceptually abstracted from local sensibilities, and economically valued. On the other side, nature, seen through the "senses" of aboriginal cultures, is an extended family member whose value extends beyond economics to include the value of being alongside others. The aboriginal way of sensing nature embodies experiences and understanding that encompasses a sensuous, empathic, physical relation to the world.

Environmental education focuses on teaching students about the natural environment. The goal of this education is to foster a lifestyle that maintains a sustainable co-existence with our natural environment. Promoting an understanding of nature as a resource can not foster this goal. I conclude that a different understanding of nature, such as the understanding that aboriginal cultures maintain, needs to be introduced into environmental education if we ever hope to live in a balanced and harmonious relationship with nature.
