Indigenous knowledge refers to the unique knowledge systems, practices, and beliefs held by Indigenous communities around the world. This knowledge is often passed down through generations and is closely tied to the land, culture, and traditional ways of life of Indigenous peoples. Indigenous knowledge encompasses a wide range of topics, including ecology, medicine, agriculture, astronomy, and spirituality, and is increasingly recognized for its relevance and importance in areas such as environmental conservation, sustainable development, and human rights. Researchers in this field seek to understand, document, and preserve Indigenous knowledge systems while also promoting collaboration and dialogue between Indigenous communities and mainstream institutions.
