"Storytelling and other oral traditions preserve indigenous knowledge
and honors the holistic relationship between Earth and its natural
living beings. Indigenous knowledge contributes to our understanding of
climate change, biodiversity, medicinal plants and many other things.
The reluctance of Western science to recognize and acknowledge the
important contribution of indigenous knowledge is slowly changing,
resulting in the combined use of technology, science, tradition and
culture to learn about and sustainably manage our natural world. NASA’s
Indigenous Peoples Capacity Building Initiative assists Indigenous
communities with managing their natural and cultural resources using
geospatial technology."
