I. Introduction
Indigenous peoples, also known as First peoples, Aboriginal peoples or Native peoples,
are ethnic groups who are the original settlers of a given region, in contrast to groups that have settled,
occupied or colonized the area more recently
Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs) are local knowledge developed over centuries
of experimentation by our ancestors and are passed orally from generation to generation.
1. Definition
Indigenous Peoples
 Indigenous Peoples refer to Filipinos who have continuously lived as organized communities in
defined territories (ancestral domains) since time immemorial, and they have retained some or all of
their own social, economic, cultural and political institutions IPs include those who may have been
displaced from their domains or may have resettled

WHO ARE THE FILIPINO IPS?

 refer to a group of people or homogenous societies identified by self-ascription and ascription by
others, who have continuously lived as organized community on communally bounded and defined
territory, and who have, under claims of ownership since time immemorial occupied, possessed and
utilized such territories, sharing common bonds of language, customs, traditions and other distinctive
cultural traits,or, who have, through resistance to political, social and cultural inroads of colonization,
non-indigenous religions and cultures, became historically differentiated from the majority of
Filipinos.

 ICCs/IPs shall likewise include peoples who are regarded as indigenous on account of their descent
from the populations which inhabited the country, at the time of conquest or colonization, or at the time
of inroads of non-indigenous religions and cultures, or the establishment of present state boundaries,
who retain some or all of their own social, economic, cultural and political institutions, but who
may have been displaced from their traditional domains or who may have resettled outside their
ancestral domains. Indigenous knowledge is also known as traditional knowledge or traditional
ecological knowledge or traditional environmental knowledge.

 Traditional knowledge is knowledge that derives from, or is rooted in the traditional way of life of
aboriginal people. It is the accumulated knowledge and understanding of the human place in relation to
the universe.

 Traditional ecological knowledge is environmental knowledge that has been gathered by aboriginal
peoples who have lived in and observed a particular area for generations. It is a system of experiential
knowledge gained by continual observation and transmitted among members of a community.

 Traditional environmental knowledge is a body of knowledge and beliefs transmitted through oral
traditions and first hand observation. The quantity and quality of TEK varies among community
members, depending upon gender, age, social status, intellectual capability and profession.

 Indigenous knowledge includes facts, concepts, theories about the characteristics which describe the
objects events, behaviors and interconnections that comprise both the animate an inanimate
environments of indigenous peoples. Even though indigenous knowledge is not quantitative in nature. It
does mean that it is not precise.

2. Characteristics of Traditional knowledge

 Is generated within communities
 Is location and culture specific
 Is the basis for decision making and survival strategies
 Is not systematically documented
 Concerns critical issues of human and animal life; primarily production, natural resource
management
 Is dynamic and based on innovation , adaptation , and experimentation.
 Is oral and rural in nature

3. Importance of traditional knowledge

 Contributes to the cultural and political goals of self – determination and self – reliance
 Ability to support traditional lifestyles (strong appreciation of community history and its roots)
 Traditional knowledge has wide range of commercial and scientific uses (increasingly valuable
to non – indigenous outsiders) example: use of traditional medicines as a basis for
pharmaceutical products and herbal medicines.
