Overview

Indigenous oral traditions are vital to preserving cultural memory, transmitting knowledge, and sustaining community identity across generations. These rich practices offer alternative ways of knowing that challenge dominant Western paradigms and support efforts to decolonize education. As global awareness grows around the importance of indigenous knowledge systems, oral traditions play an increasingly prominent role in informing pedagogy, cultural resilience, and intercultural understanding. Exploring their relevance today helps bridge past and present, fostering more inclusive and respectful approaches to learning and cultural preservation. Global Perspectives on Indigenous Oral Traditions provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the functions, preservation, and educational integration of indigenous oral traditions. It presents theoretical frameworks, comparative case studies, and practical applications from all around the world. Covering topics such as colonial debunking, intergenerational knowledge, and storytelling, this book is an excellent resource for anthropologists, educators, curriculum developers, historians, linguists, instructional designers, administrators, researchers, academicians, and more.
