ABSTRACT

Using traditional Western research methods to explore Indigenous traditional knowledge system (TKS) has often been felt by the Indigenous people as inappropriate and ineffective in gathering information and promoting discussion. Several Indigenous studies have found that storytelling as an emerging research method is timely, accurate, appropriate, and culturally relevant for many Indigenous communities. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is treated with a combination of behavior therapy and medication. The survival of the TKS in its pure form requires revisioning the support system. Climate change has brought forth the interlinkings of the triple planetary crisis that humanity currently faces: climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Environmental education creates dissonance due to the nature of instruction in schools. Most of the minority people in Bangladesh are deeply connected with Indigenous TKS. TKS became an empowering research tool for the reader as researchers, educators, and learners in both case studies.
