Abstract

Experiential knowledge is what indigenous knowledge is all about. Unfortunately again the Western intellectuals are reframing indigenous knowledge to suit their purposes. In the course of living with indigenous communities through a project to revive the craft in a potters' village, the author recognises that their knowledge is holistic and intuitive unlike the compartmentalized and fragmented and reason-dominated knowledge of modernity. A narrative of the experience.
