"This paper is situated in a set of analytically uncomfortable and complex intersections and contestations between indigenous knowledges, development policies and practices, and anthropology. The indigenous knowledge literature emphasizes how smaller-scale societies and cultures have lived in harmony with nature and practiced sustainable development. In doing so these societies are often said to have constructed profound knowledge of their environments, which is in danger of being lost and/or appropriated. The assertion of the importance of indigenous knowledge and practices is used in Africa to counter the notions that only western development can bring progress. In North and South America, notions of indigenousness have been used in a more politicized fashion by groups attempting to maintain some autonomy for their land, languages and cultures." |
