Title: Indigenous Science Knowledge in Anthropocene
Dr. Shandin Pete1

The dynamics of contemporary scientific knowledge production in the Anthropocene through the lens of indigenous philosophy aim is to unravel the concept of a science tradition that is often perceived as enigmatic. There are apparent divergences in philosophical underpinnings in the literature when examining the pursuit of knowledge from apparent different scientific traditions. This exploration seeks to highlight the underlying parallels between indigenous and Western academic scientific traditions, both rooted in the practical pursuit of knowledge and the endeavor to elucidate uncertainties.
Moreover, the presentation will shed light on the challenges posed by resistance to mutual understanding, which manifests as a form of injustice that marginalizes alternative interpretations. This examination reveals a fundamental discrepancy in the recognition of what constitutes sources of higher-order uncertainty and credible evidence.
Examples drawn from Indigenous hydrological, astronomical, and geomorphological traditions will be presented to illustrate perspectives often overlooked in the face of predominant Western academic pressures. These examples serve to underscore the richness and validity of indigenous knowledge systems, offering valuable insights for contemporary scientific discourse and practice.
