Examples abound of western-lead teams of researchers failing to consult properly with indigenous populations, with the resulting "advancements" quickly proving to be unsustainable or, tragically, destructive. Thankfully, this trend is slowly changing. In the 1990's, indigenous knowledge has been fertile ground for research, and a wealth of information now exists on the topic.
