Indigenous Navigation
Indigenous navigation refers to the traditional methods used by Indigenous peoples to travel and orient themselves in their environments. This practice often relies on natural elements such as the stars, ocean currents, wind patterns, and landmarks. Indigenous navigators possess deep knowledge of their local ecosystems, which helps them find their way across land and sea.
Many Indigenous cultures, such as the Polynesians and Inuit, have developed unique navigation techniques passed down through generations. These methods emphasize a strong connection to the land and sea, showcasing the importance of cultural heritage and environmental awareness in guiding their journeys.
