Abstract

Human beings and their environments constantly interact, and both are changed by the interactions. In the process of these interactions, humans have developed their own views, values, ideologies and ways of coping up with their environments. This human experience, which exists as part of their indigenous knowledge, is mainly exchanged through indigenous communication mechanisms, which include narratives, rituals, folk festivals, plays, puppet shows, folk dances and songs (Valbuena, 1986 in Mundy, 1993:03).
