Abstract

International education systems characterized largely by colonial influences have commonly marginalised Indigenous knowledge and worldviews in favour of Western frameworks. This legacy has limited educational experience by consolidating colonial languages, histories, and pedagogies, almost removing the cultural essence and richness of Indigenous view. In a world of globalized and multicultural people, decolonizing education and interweaving Indigenous knowledge has become a necessity for building inclusive and culturally aware learning environments. Indigenous knowledge is a holistic worldview that combines spirituality, community, and environment, it would be a good thing to include in conventional curricula. Incorporating Indigenous perspectives validates and moves towards cultural relevance, environmental stewardship, and critical global citizenship in addition to incorporating diversity of mind.
