土著科学在基础上基于关系，互惠和责任。这些科学构成了通过对知识创造和决策实践的不同观点和实践开发的知识系统，这些观点不仅有权按照自己的方式追求，而且对于解决关键的二十一世纪挑战至关重要。科学通常被视为它是一个单一的实体，原则上没有文化影响和价值中立。西方科学通常被视为实例化，等同于这种理想化但有问题的科学观点。我们主张从总体上就科学的多种观点参与，尤其是与土著科学的参与。作为学者专注于人类学习和发展，我们分享了有时与西方科学合作的土著科学如何导致对人类学习和发展的新发现和见解。
Indigenous sciences are foundationally based in relationships, reciprocity, and responsibilities. These sciences constitute systems of knowledge developed through distinct perspectives on and practices of knowledge creation and decision-making that not only have the right to be pursued on their own terms but may also be vital in solving critical twenty-first-century challenges. Science is often treated as if it were a single entity, free of cultural influences and value-neutral in principle. Western science is often seen as instantiating and equivalent to this idealized, yet problematic, view of science. We argue for engagement with multiple perspectives on science in general, and increased engagement with Indigenous sciences in particular. As scholars focused on human learning and development, we share empirical examples of how Indigenous sciences, sometimes in partnership with Western science, have led to new discoveries and insights into human learning and development.
