Slide 6- Connecting knowledge and indigenous society through evidence

An intriguing real-life example that connects knowledge, indigenous societies, and evidence in the context of Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is the use of indigenous navigational techniques in the Pacific Islands, particularly the revival and modern application of traditional Polynesian wayfinding methods. This example provides a rich and engaging context for students to explore how indigenous knowledge systems, deeply rooted in observation and interpretation of natural evidence, can offer valuable insights into modern scientific practices. It also underscores the importance of cultural preservation and the relevance of traditional knowledge in contemporary global issues.
