| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Indigenous knowledge is the local knowledge that is unique to a culture or society. It is also known by other names such as: ‘local knowledge’, ‘folk knowledge’, ‘people knowledge’, ‘traditional wisdom’ or traditional science’. It is passed from generation to generation, usually by word of mouth and cultural rituals, and has been the basis for agriculture, food preparation, health care, education, conservation and the wide range of other activities that sustain societies in many parts of the world (UNESCO; 2010). |
