Abstract

This chapter, per the authors, explores how Indigenous storytelling functions as a living epistemological system that preserves cultural knowledge, resists colonial domination, and supports decolonized education. The chapter highlights how Indigenous narratives empower marginalized voices, promote self-representation, and foster environmental knowledge and community resilience. It demonstrates that decolonized education requires structural change to integrate Indigenous worldviews, challenge Eurocentric knowledge hierarchies, and promote epistemic justice.
