“…Biocultural indicators are intended to be used to ensure the work programme delivers Melanesian well-being by strengthening the ability of communities to manage their own resources and improve access to customary lands, forests and marine resources, and form a measure of self-reliance which is uniquely Melanesian. Similarly, Social-Ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS) demonstrate examples of ecosystems which have evolved as resilient systems which foster human well-being while maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services (Gu & Subramanian, 2012). In this approach, 20 indicators are used which represent biodiversity and resilience at a community level and support sustainable economies which are fundamentally linked to these ecosystems.…”

Acknowledgement that Indigenous Knowledge cannot be assimilated and readily generalised within reductionist scientific paradigms is emerging. The reluctance of Indigenous Peoples to adopt reductionist science-based interpretations is justified. Science that stops at the point where reality is universal excludes consideration of how outcomes are understood and experienced by more holistic epistemologies including those of Indigenous Peoples. Culturally derived ways of knowing are beyond the realm of reductionist science and require approaches to decision-making frameworks that are capable of including culturally specific knowledge. Cultural indicators are a geographically specific means of enabling measurement of a particular culture’s attributes; however, to be appropriately recognised, the method of inclusion is at least as important. Therefore, cultural indicators, their definition and their measurement are the sole prerogative of Indigenous Peoples, and how Indigenous epistemologies are effectively empowered in frameworks is critical, as decisions are no longer being made in purely Indigenous contexts.
