In Sagun: A Search for Harmony, indigenous knowledge and skills are portrayed not just as cultural practices but as living wisdom that connects people, nature, and spirituality. The narrative highlights how these traditions, passed down through generations, guide communities in maintaining balance — whether in rituals, daily life, or social relationships.
The appropriate use of this knowledge involves respecting its origins, understanding its deeper meanings, and applying it in a way that preserves cultural identity. Sagun emphasizes that when local skills, beliefs, and practices are honored and integrated responsibly, they foster harmony — between individuals, communities, and the natural world. Through this lens, indigenous knowledge becomes a powerful tool for sustaining cultural continuity while enriching modern life.
