Abstract

This research explores the social significance of traditional practices within indigenous communities around the world. By examining case studies from the Americas and Oceania, the article highlights how these practices sustain cultural identity, social cohesion, and community resilience. The study calls for greater recognition and incorporation of traditional knowledge in modern policy-making to support indigenous rights and development.
