In contrast to 'Eurocentric' or mainstream knowledge which typically relies on scientific theories and empirical substantiation as evidence of reality, Indigenous knowledge systems usually begin with stories derived from practical experiences. Stories integrate the values and processes experienced, which then culminate in wisdom. Individuals develop wisdom over time, through their own experiences and through the stories of others, which they then share through the creation of new stories (Smylie et al, 2003; Cruickshank, 1998).
