Abstract
Indigenous knowledge refers to the unique,
traditional, local knowledge existing within
and developed around the speciļ¬c conditions
of people indigenous to a particular geographic
area. It is based on experiences, often tested
over centuries of use, adapted to local culture,
environment, and dynamics. The use of
indigenous knowledge has been considered as
an alternative way of promoting development
in poor rural communities in many parts of the
world (Briggs, 2005). Transfer of indigenous
knowledge from generation to generation
is mostly done through oral tradition or by
demonstration.
