More of that Team Dazzler public education[/s] indoctrination coming home to roost. Indigenous knowledge? Uh, slavery, human sacrifice, cannibalism, head shrinking, subjugation of women?

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PUSHES “INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE”
The Biden administration has released a “guidance” to federal agencies that calls on them to include “Indigenous Knowledge” in decision making:
Today, the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) jointly released new government-wide guidance and an accompanying implementation memorandum for Federal Agencies on recognizing and including Indigenous Knowledge in Federal research, policy, and decision making.
You may wonder, what the Hell is “Indigenous Knowledge”? Obviously, there is no such thing. There is just knowledge. Just as there is only science. Not “Indigenous Science.”
The White House press release sheds a little light on what they are talking about, but not much:
Indigenous Knowledge is a body of observations, oral and written knowledge, innovations, practices, and beliefs developed by Tribes and Indigenous Peoples through interaction and experience with the environment. The Biden-Harris Administration has formally recognized Indigenous Knowledge as one of the many important bodies of knowledge that contributes to the scientific, technical, social, and economic advancements of the United States and our collective understanding of the natural world.
If you are looking for specific instances of “Indigenous Knowledge” that is somehow different from anyone else’s knowledge, and that have contributed to “scientific advancements,” you won’t find them in the White House statement.
