What is Indigenous Science?
Bridging Indigenous Science, Diplomacy, and Indigenous Knowledge in a Complex World
What is Indigenous Science?
Indigenous Science integrates research from Indigenous Knowledge traditions to tackle complex social and ecological challenges. It highlights the vital role of Indigenous perspectives in guiding research, strengthening science diplomacy, and supporting informed decision-making across different regions. Our goal is to promote and revive Indigenous methodologies alongside approaches from the natural and social sciences. This combined effort fosters cooperation and sustainability when addressing global challenges, especially in environmentally sensitive areas worldwide. Examples of this approach include the Arctic Science Agreement and efforts to protect the Amazon, both of which underscore the significance of Indigenous knowledge, international collaboration, and integrated research.
What is Indigenous Science Diplomacy?
​Indigenous Science Diplomacy combines Indigenous knowledge with ancient diplomatic practices to address global challenges and foster international cooperation. It explicitly incorporates Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, and participation within the scientific and diplomatic processes that address shared global and regional challenges. It recognises the value of Indigenous peoples’ deep connection to their lands and environments and integrates Indigenous knowledge systems into scientific collaboration and international policy-making frameworks.
