Indigenous science is the application and intersection of Indigenous knowledge and science. This field has been around for centuries, based on careful observation of the environment, and through experimentation. It is a holistic field, informed by physical, social, mental and cultural knowledge.[1] When applied to ecology and the environment, it can be sometimes termed traditional ecological knowledge.[2][3][4] Indigenous science involves the knowledge systems and practices of Indigenous peoples, which are rooted in their cultural traditions and relationships to their indigenous context. There are some similar methods of Western science including (but not limited to): observation, prediction, interpretation, and questioning.[5] However, there are large areas in which Western science and Indigenous science differ. Indigenous knowledge is place and case-specific and does not attempt to label or generalize natural processes.[6] Western science strives to find commonalities and theories that can be applied to all areas, such as Newton’s Laws of Physics. This is because most Indigenous Knowledge stems from the relationship humans have with their environment, which is passed down through stories or is discovered through observation.[7] Western knowledge takes a different approach by isolating targets to study, splitting them from their surroundings and making sets of assumptions and theories. Community is a larger aspect of Indigenous Science, and conclusions are shared through oral tradition and family knowledge, whereas most Western science research is published in a journal specific to that scientific field, and may restrict access to various papers.[7]

Many times, these differences in approaches, along with the violent and traumatic history of oppression caused by colonizers, have led to a culture in which European and American scientists and academics devalue or overlook the findings and knowledge of Indigenous people.[8][9] The field of Indigenous Science cannot be separated from the history of colonization, as science and research have been weaponized against Indigenous people for centuries, used to label Native people as “primitive” or to justify the massacres and land theft.[10] Many researchers forced themselves into Native spaces and profited off of their knowledge, rewriting Native peoples’ experiences and history.[11][12] This tumultuous history informs the field of Indigenous sciences.

Higher recognition and advocacy of Indigenous people in the 21st century has increased the visibility of this important field.[13] There has been a growing recognition of the benefits of incorporating Indigenous perspectives and knowledge, particularly in fields such as ecology and environmental management.[14][15]

Oral Traditions in Indigenous Science

Indigenous knowledge and experiences are often passed down orally from generation to generation.[16][17] Indigenous knowledge has an empirical basis and has traditionally been used to predict and understand the world.[18][19][20] Such knowledge has informed studies of human management of natural processes.[1][21]

This oral knowledge is embedded in songs and dances, which allows for accurate information to be passed down for centuries as songs and dances are easier to remember, and harder to change than spoken stories. It is important to understand that oral histories are not fairy tales or legends, but have arisen through intense observation and are a critical part of Indigenous culture.[22][23]

For instance, in Australian aboriginal tribes, oral traditions are a key tool for passing information of geological events. One recent application was the discovery of the Henbury Meteorite site, as songs and dances from various aboriginal tribes marked when and where the meteorites touched down, while no Western people had been able to determine its placement. Oral storytelling is also used to map ocean levels after the most recent ice age, and is used in astronomy, ecology, and agriculture.[8][23][24]

In ecology

Culturally modified trees (CMTs) are when resources from a tree are used in a way that does not kill the tree itself.

Indigenous science is related to the term "traditional ecological knowledge" or "TEK" which is specific category of Indigenous science.[25]

The study of ecology focuses on the relationships and patterns between organisms in their environment.[26] TEK is place-based, so the information and understanding are context-dependent.[27] One example of such work is ethnobiology which employs Indigenous knowledge and botany to identify and classify species.[28] TEK has been used to provide perspectives on matters such as how a declining fish population affects nature, the food web, and coastal ecosystems.[29]

Indigenous science has helped to address ecological challenges including the restoration of salmon,[30] management of seabird harvests,[31] outbreaks of hantavirus,[32] and addressing wildfires.[33]

Place based sciences

Indigenous science may offer a different perspective from what is traditionally thought of as "science".[34] In particular, Indigenous science is tied to territory, cultural practices, and experiences/teachings in explicit ways that are often absent in normal scientific discourse.[35]

Collaboration between Indigenous communities and research scientists has been described as a kind of "indigenizing" of the scientific method with Indigenous-led projects and community work enacted as a starting point for the collaborations.[36]

Climatology studies have made use of traditional knowledge (Qaujimajatuqangit) among the Inuit when studying long-term changes in sea ice.[37][38]

As well as in ecology, Indigenous knowledge has been used in biological areas including animal behaviour, evolution, physiology, life history, morphology, wildlife conservation, wildlife health, and taxonomy.[39][better source needed]

Indigenous technologies

The definition of technology is "the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.".[40] Examples of Indigenous technologies that were developed for specific use based on their location and culture include: clam gardens, fish weirs, and culturally modified trees (CMTs).[41] Indigenous technologies are available in a wide range of subjects such as: agri- and mari-culture, fishing, forest management and resource exploitation, atmospheric, and land based management techniques.[41] Chaco Canyon is an example of land-based Indigenous technologies which show keen insight into the scientific and mathematical underpinnings.[42]

Technology by area

The American Southeast

Agriculture in the southeast was based on a mixed-crop, shifting cultivation system[43] growing corn, beans, and squash together in the same mounds; an inter-cropping system known as the three sisters.[44] In this horticultural technique, each plant offers something to the others, thus improving the crop yield. Corn is a high-caloric food, supported by the beans, which provide nitrogen from nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live on their roots, and squash provide ground cover (suppresses weeds and keeps soil moist).[44] Other crops incorporated in the inter-cropping system included sunflowers or grains like barley or maygrass.[45]
