1.1 Definition of Indigenous Knowledge
Indigenous knowledge refers to the accumulated body of knowledge,
skills, values, and practices that are developed and preserved by
indigenous communities over generations. This knowledge is rooted in
the lived experiences of a particular community and is closely linked to
its culture, language, beliefs, and interaction with the natural and social
environment.
It is typically transmitted orally through storytelling, observation,
imitation, and participation in community activities rather than through
formal schooling. Indigenous knowledge systems are holistic in nature
and are used to guide decision-making in areas such as education,
health, agriculture, environmental management, and social
organisation within the community.
