Abstract

This paper examines pathways for preserving Indigenous knowledge through cloud technology as a foundation for sustainable education. Indigenous knowledge, rooted in traditions and community experiences, offers practices that foster ecological balance, cultural resilience, and holistic learning. However, this wisdom is increasingly at risk of erosion due to rapid globalization and technological dominance. Cloud technology provides an opportunity to safeguard and revitalize these knowledge systems by offering platforms for storage, access, and intergenerational exchange. Unlike static preservation, cloud-based solutions allow communities to share narratives, practices, and ecological insights dynamically, ensuring continuity while adapting to present needs. This study highlights thematic connections between Indigenous knowledge, sustainability, and digital innovation, emphasizing how cloud-based education can bridge tradition and modernity. Challenges of ethics, sovereignty, and cultural sensitivity are also addressed, with recommendations for embedding Indigenous voices in digital design. This thematic exploration suggests future pathways for equitable and sustainable educational practices.
