Thank you for the interesting and well thought article. You pose some interesting questions, and, in my view, the challenge will be to decide which indigenous knowledge belongs to science, and which to sociology, art and history. Given that science is objective and un-biased, only the objective scientific method can be applied to answer this question. If a belief does not pass this scrutiny, it will stay a belief and by no means of less importance or socio-historical significance than science.
