Traditional Knowledge at the White River Valley Museum and Mary Olson Farm

Traditional knowledge (TK) is knowledge and skills passed down from generation to generation, forming the identity of a cultural group, community, or family.

In the United States TK is most often associated with the deep-rooted, invaluable wisdom and traditions of indigenous peoples. TK is what kept the earliest European colonists in America from starving and what saved the Denny party from freezing their fannies off on Alki, leading them to instead settle on the eastern shore of Denny Bay. Traditional Knowledge is the bedrock of Native culture and the lessons learned from TK preserve health, wellbeing, the land, and heritage.

Traditional knowledge is an understanding of the world that you receive outside of a classroom; lessons learned from elders and from experiences. TK appears in life skills that don’t exactly fit into modern scientific practice, like knowing honey can be used as an antiseptic or the ability to navigate by the stars. In TK the lessons are often received from the natural world.
