Mrs. Lévesque, I want to continue with you to be sure I understand.
You say that indigenous knowledge is a way of knowing different from traditional science. As you said, the scientific method has a standardized process.
If there are two different ways of knowing that don't employ the same scientific process, since you say it isn't necessarily applicable, how do we then distinguish true from false?
How do we distinguish beliefs, traditions, opinions and hypotheses from reality, as well as knowledge, which can be validated by peers, by a standardized scientific process?
