Indigenous peoples throughout the world have sustained
their unique worldviews and associated knowledge systems for millennia, even
while undergoing major social upheavals as a result of transformative forces
beyond their control. Many of the core values, beliefs and practices associated with those
worldviews have survived and are beginning to be recognized as having an
adaptive integrity that is as valid for today's generation as it was for
generations past. The depth of indigenous knowledge rooted in the long
inhabitation of a particular place offers lessons that can benefit everyone,
from educator to scientist, as we search for a more satisfying and sustainable
way to live on this planet.
