Traditional knowledge

Traditional knowledge is knowledge passed down from one generation to the next. It can include things like stories, beliefs, customs, skills, and values of a particular group of people or place. This knowledge is often passed through storytelling and teaching and has been shared by different cultures around the world for thousands of years. People use traditional knowledge to keep their communities safe and strong, and it helps them make decisions about their lives, their health, and their environment.
