As with [[Shamanism]], indigenous knowledge systems encompass much more than traditional medicine.  In fact, I've seen and heard them discussed in terms of ecology and resource management much more often than with medicine.  They also encompass indigenous history are most often discussed in terms of local development.  See for example the [http://portal.unesco.org/science/en/ev.php-URL_ID=2038&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html current projects] of the UNESCO branch cited in the article. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 16:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

As with Shamanism, indigenous knowledge systems encompass much more than traditional medicine. In fact, I've seen and heard them discussed in terms of ecology and resource management much more often than with medicine. They also encompass indigenous history are most often discussed in terms of local development. See for example the current projects of the UNESCO branch cited in the article. --Joe Quick 16:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
