    practiced by indigenous peoples both past and present.
    It has also developed diverse structures and contents through the
    interplay between the society and environment.
    Pawilen developed a simple framework for understanding indigenous science.
    Accordingly, indigenous science is composed of traditional knowledge that uses
    science process skills and guided by community values and culture.
