  • Does the emphasis on holistic knowledge found in some indigenous societies avoid a limited understanding of reality resulting from the compartmentalization of knowledge?
  • How have government education policies and systems compromised the transmission of indigenous knowledge?
  • How might differences in their worldviews create challenges for collaboration between environmental scientists and holders of traditional environmental knowledge?
