Our goal is to uplift more equitable knowledge creation and dissemination

Indigenous communities are the timeless stewards of how to live in a deep relationship with the land, water, and all life. In the face of climate disruption, loss of biodiversity, and the impacts of digital and economic systems, this knowledge is more vital than ever.

To influence global actions and decisions for a sustainable, just, fair and inclusive future, we desperately need for indigenous-led knowledge creation and dissemination to be accessible and equitable. Indigenous community members ought to contribute to scientific knowledge systems and decision making in their own terms using their own languages and means of knowledge management.

The significance of representing themselves is to counter systemic marginalization and ensure their voices are heard.

Knowledge creation as means for intercultural alliances amongst indigenous communities

In the era of digital transformations, it is essential that Indigenous minorities determine their own digitalisation processes, ensuring authentic representations of their cultural heritage and knowledge. Himba communities that have been engaging in community-led digitization processes have voiced their desire to engage in dialogue with other Indigenous peoples about this method of community-led cultural conservation.

As Indigenous peoples face climate change and other pressures on our ways of life, gathering together as Indigenous peoples is critical for these types of dialogues particularly in ways initiated by and for our communities. It is through intercultural dialogue among elders and our communities that we can join together to share knowledge on how to ensure the survival of our peoples, territories and ways of knowing for future generations.
