Revaluation and Preservation of Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Modern Society - Paperback

Indigenous Knowledge can be used to integrate education in today's society, honoring and respecting the diversity of knowledge sources and fostering an inclusive and fair learning environment. This increases cultural pride and, consequently, the drive to find creative solutions to local problems using resources and inventiveness that are available locally. Indigenous people have important knowledge about the ecosystem in the area and how best to manage its natural resources. A growing number of people outside of indigenous knowledge systems are interested in them as a result of the current global ecological catastrophe and the understanding that overuse of natural resources arises from unsuitable attitudes and technology. Indigenous Knowledge is the basis from which alternative ways of managing resources can be developed using indigenous technologies that are cost effective and economically affordable. Revaluation and Preservation of Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Modern Society contributes to the role of indigenous knowledge in the contemporary society by focusing on the preservation, promotion, and dissemination of indigenous knowledge. Covering topics such as food security, intellectual property protection, and biocultural community protocols, this book is an excellent resource for knowledge managers, records managers, indigenous knowledge owners, indigenous communities, librarians, computer scientists, data curators, sociologists, anthropologists, policymakers, government officials, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
