Indigenous Peoples Worldviews vs
Western Worldviews
January 26, 2016
"Any individual within a culture is going to have his or her own personal
interpretation of the collective cultural code; however, the individual's worldview
has its roots in the culture - that is, in the society's shared philosophy, values and
customs. If we are to understand how Aboriginal and Eurocentric worldviews
clash, we need to understand how the philosophy, values and customs of
Aboriginal culture differ from those of Eurocentric cultures"
-- John Ralston Saul, The Comeback
The world we live in is multicultural with a co
esponding plethora of worldviews. In
this article we provide a definition of "worldviews" and a comparison of Indigenous
and Western worldview perspectives. Understanding the core differences between
Indigenous worldviews and Western worldviews is an important component in
achieving cultural harmony and respectful relationships. We are speaking in very
general terms in the description of these differences and are in no way indicating
that individual Indigenous cultures share the same worldviews; ditto fo
generalizations of Western worldviews.

First of all, what is the definition of a worldview?
“A worldview can pertain to an individual, group, or society. Overall, a worldview
is a set of beliefs and values that are honoured and withheld by a number of
people. A worldview includes how the person or group interacts with the world
around them, including land, animals, and people. Every person and society has a
worldview. Many societies pass on their worldview to their children to ensure
worldview continuity. As people interact and learn from one another, it is not
uncommon for them to acquire the beliefs of other worldviews. Worldviews
evolve as people and societies evolve”
- Leroy Little Bear, professo
The root of the difference between the worldviews is that they generally subscribe
to opposite approaches to knowledge, connectedness, and science. Indigenous
cultures focus on a holistic understanding of the whole that emerged from the
millennium of their existence and experiences. Traditional Western worldviews
tend to be more concerned with science and concentrate on compartmentalized
knowledge and then focus on understanding the bigger, related picture.
Eight differences between Indigenous and western worldviews (Adapted from
Working with Aboriginal Worldviews, Anne Mead)
Indigenous worldviews (I) vs Western worldviews (W)
1.(I) Spiritually orientated society. System based on belief and spiritual world.
1.(W) Scientific, skeptical. Requiring proof as a basis of belief.
2.(I)There can be many truths; truths are dependent upon individual experiences.
2.(W) There is only one truth, based on science or Western style law.
3.(I) Society operates in a state of relatedness. Everything and everyone is related.
There is a real belief that people, objects and the environment are all connected.
Law, kinship and spirituality reinforce this connectedness. Identity comes from
connections.
3.(W)Compartmentalized society, becoming more so.
4.(I) The land is sacred and usually given by a creator or supreme being.

4.(W) The land and its resources should be available for development and
extraction for the benefit of humans.
5.(I) Time is non-linear, cyclical in nature. Time is measured in cyclical events. The
seasons are central to this cyclical concept.
5.(W) Time is usually linearly structured and future orientated. The framework of
months, years, days etc reinforces the linear structure.
6.(I) Feeling comfortable is measured by the quality of your relationships with
people.
6.(W) Feeling comfortable is related to how successful you feel you have been in
achieving your goals.
7.(I) Human beings are not the most important in the world.
7.(W) Human beings are most important in the world.
8.(I) Amassing wealth is important for the good of the community
8.(W)Amassing wealth is for personal gain
It also has been suggested that in any society there is a dominant worldview that is
held by most members of that society. Alternative worldviews do exist, but they are
not usually held by a majority of a society. (Journal of Indigenous Voices in Social
Work)
We must learn to live together or perish together as fools.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Understanding and respecting the differences in worldviews will help in
elationship building between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. So, if you
ever find yourself in a situation in which you encounter an opposing worldview and
are perhaps not quite understanding it, we suggest you open the “curiosity” portal
in your mind and try really hard to see across worldviews. This is what is meant by
cultural competency.
This is a very
ief description of the basic differences between Indigenous Peoples
worldviews and western worldviews.

Student Reflection
on how they did
Teacher comments
Knowledge
The student has a clear and
concise knowledge of the
concepts of World views and the
differences between the Western
world and Indigenous groups
I believe after reading the article
numerous times and going ove
the eight differences presented
in it, I was able to grasp both
worldviews of the Indigenous
and Westerns. I stated my take
on how they compare and
contrast one another.
Thinking / Inquiry
Student provides exceptional
analysis of the article and is able
to connect it to the course in a
clear and concise way
I took a more unconventional
way of connecting the article and
the reflection to my personal
experience instead of the
course. The only way I felt I
could reflect on what I learned
was to connect it to my personal
experiences which in fact helped
me understand both worldviews
a little clearer.
Communication
The information presented is very
organized and any mistakes in
writing and speaking conventions
are in no way distracting.
I have reread my reflection
multiple times, and I’m positive
there are no mistakes,
grammatically speaking.
Application
The final product illustrates that
the student followed all of the
instructions the best of their ability
I read the instructions and
followed the requirements best
to my ability.
