Study Notes
Impormatibo
Impormatibo is a term used by the Kuna people of Panama to describe their holistic worldview, which encompasses all aspects of life, including physical, spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, and moral wellbeing. This concept has been acknowledged by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an example of a culturally appropriate approach to education, particularly in indigenous communities.
PananaLikSik
Pananliksik is one of the fundamental principles of impormatibo, representing a balanced existence between humans and the natural environment. It translates to "living within the balance," referring to living in harmony with nature and the supernatural elements.
Education
In the context of education, the principle of Pananliksik calls for schools to focus on the development of children's potential through traditional cultural practices and values alongside modern academic subjects. This ensures that students are not only literate and numerate but also have a strong sense of identity and respect for their community and its traditions.
Sustainability
The principle of Pananliksik also emphasizes sustainability, encouraging individuals to live responsibly while maintaining their connection to the land and community. This involves respecting the rights of other species and future generations to access resources such as water, food, shelter, and medicine from the Earth.
Traditional Practices
Traditional practices play a crucial role in fostering resilience among Indigenous peoples. These practices often link the present to the past and the future, reflecting a holistic understanding of how humans live with the rest of creation. Examples of these practices may include planting, hunting, fishing, crafts, music, dance, storytelling, and ceremonies.
Language Revitalization
Language revitalization efforts can help preserve the wisdom of Indigenous knowledge systems, strengthen community ties, and support mental health. By preserving endangered languages closely associated with traditional ecological knowledge, we can promote culturally relevant learning environments and ensure that young generations are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to live in harmony with the environment.
