traditional indigenous education

Traditional indigenous education is a holistic, community-based process of learning that emphasizes cultural values, language, and skills essential for maintaining identity and environment. It often occurs through storytelling, rituals, mentorship, and hands-on experience, passed down across generations. This approach fosters spiritual, social, and ecological harmony, preparing individuals to contribute meaningfully to their communities. Unlike formal schooling, it is personalized, context-specific, and deeply rooted in a community’s worldview, ensuring that knowledge remains relevant, respectful, and sustaining for their way of life.
