摘要

Indigenous knowledge, as part of Indigenous property, is at the heart of the sustenance of Indigenous communities. Unlike intellectual property that is a close sibling, Indigenous knowledge is not a lex specialis largely defined in its own hermeneutics, but a manifestation of how Indigenous Africans have managed maintained, and interacted with their environment based primarily on their land. Accordingly, this chapter explores the nature of Indigenous knowledge to provide a context of how Indigenous communities have fared in their articulation within their political community of what they consider their knowledge.
