Definition(s)
- The United Nations defines Indigenous knowledge as the “knowledge that an indigenous (local) community accumulates over generations of living in a particular environment,” including “technologies, know-how skills, practices and beliefs … that enable the community to achieve stable livelihoods in their environment” (United Nations, 2011, n.p.). This definition provides a helpful starting point for considering the role of Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous knowledge systems (IKSs)—more appropriately conceptualized in the plural form—in education.
