    Indigenous science refers to the body of knowledge built by Indigenous peoples through direct observation of their natural environment over generations. It presents a holistic understanding of the world through intergenerational knowledge transfer. Teaching Indigenous science in schools provides students with an increased awareness of Aboriginal culture and identity. It also allows them to consider environmental problems from perspectives beyond just Western science.
