Traditional Knowledge and Wisdom: Themes from the Pacific Islands
Traditional knowledge has been receiving more attention due to its recognized potential. However, for sometime, the word traditional was generally seen as synonymous to old or outdated. Toward the end of the twentieth century, the many problems facing modern society—including environmental degradation and dehumanization—got many people to question the limits of the so-called modern approach to the world. In post-modernist discourse, a central task has been to overcome the negative side of modernity in the fields of not only the arts and humanities but also social, natural, and applied sciences. And many are looking to traditional knowledge or intangible cultural heritage for alternatives. Re-examining, reinterpreting, and applying traditional knowledge in a contemporary context often leads to viable solutions.\n\nThe editors of this book have compiled informative articles on traditional knowledge from the Pacific that may provide solutions and ideas for problems facing modern society. To help create a clearer platform for conveying ideas about traditional wisdom, we have categorized the articles under five themes: Worldviews, Relationships and Social Cohesion, Harvest and Landscapes, Voyaging and Seascapes, and Art and Technology.

The Role of Museums in Sharing Traditional Knowledge During COVID-19 : Case Study of FijiMuseums are, without a doubt, important institutions in any society. They are repositories for knowledge and objects of value all over the world. Some view museums as a place to find solace, cultural reflection, and inspiration. Others compare them to schools and view them as educational institutions where they can learn about their past, culture, and tradition.\nMuseums are seen as keepers of the past, as they manage artifacts that were used by groups who have, in the main, passed on. Visitors believe that their elders have left behind a legacy for the new generation to carry on the culture and tradition of a people. Even though museums may be compared with other institutions, such as schools, it has been argued that they can provide services to the community that other institutions cannot.1 This article will highlight how museums in Oceania are adapting to the ongoing COVID-19 situation in order to be accessible to visitors.Year2021NationSouth Korea
