Lifelong learning, rather than education, has been the heart and spirit of traditional knowledge (TK) in indigenous societies and civilizations. Traditional knowledge is systemic and holistic, covering both what can be observed and what can be thought; it is tangible and intangible, material and cognitive. It is a complete knowledge system with its own concepts of epistemology, philosophy, and scientific and logical validity, not a collection of stories, ceremonies and objects (Daes, 1994: para. 8).
