An Ancient Indigenous Wisdoms Framework
摘要
The aim of this chapter is to present a framework for Indigenous health based in acknowledgment of biophilia (commitment to the fundamental principle of the importance of nature) and the Ancient Wisdoms of Indigenous Elders (both discussed in the previous chapter). The chapter first discusses a respectful appreciation and deeper understanding of Indigenous culture before presenting a reinterpretation of the Old people’s knowledge and wisdom for contemporary society through six Ls (Lore, Love, Look, Listen, Learn, Lead [or Leave alone]).
