    LEARNING ACTIVITIES
    Activity # 1: Indigenous Science
    1. Do you think indigenous science should be considered science?
    Nobody owns the scientific method, and any proper application of it must be welcomed by society
    as a whole. It will be considered a science if "indigenous" science is conducted using scientific
    methodology that relies on factual, verifiable evidence for its findings and explanations. It cannot
    be considered scientific if it is based on hearsay, imagination, and faith without proper evidence.
    Furthermore, it is clear that Indigenous peoples have been responsible for several technologies and
    have made significant contributions to science throughout history.

    2. Give at least five indigenous science/knowledge which are still practice in your tribe or
    community. Describe how do you apply them.
    Many things have changed in our world over the years, and new technologies have emerged to
    improve our standard of living. However, some indigenous knowledge is still practiced in our
    community, such as using herbal medicines, preserving foods, building local irrigation systems,
    growing plants and vegetables in our backyards, and producing wines and juices from tropical
    fruits planted on our lands. We use herbal medicines to treat wounds and illnesses, such as
    coughing with Lagundi Juice. Furthermore, we continue to preserve food, such as pickled
    mangoes, in order to sell it when mango trees are not in season. We also construct local irrigation
    systems to water the plants and vegetables in our yards.

    3. How does indigenous science and culture influence the development of science and
    technology in the Philippines?
    Indigenous peoples have been responsible for the development of many technologies and have
    made significant contributions to science throughout history. Indigenous perspectives are holistic
    in nature, based on interconnectedness, reciprocity, and utmost respect for the environment.
    Indigenous knowledge, in particular, has played a significant role in providing cumulative wisdom
    passed down from generation to generation when it comes to understanding ecological
    relationships and natural resource management. It has aided in the development of new
    perspectives on climate change, animal population declines, and sustainable harvesting practices.
