How can we learn from the indigenous...How can indigenous communities help to achieve full circularityWhy are they an important part to achieve the goal of circular textiles and how can they make fashion make the planet green instead of polluting it.In her book Lo-Tek - Julia Watson, a designer and an environmentalist, has very strongly emphasised how indigenous communities have been pioneers of technologies and innovation. They have learnt ways of living with nature, preserving it and ethically simultaneously consuming it. Years of experience have made them to create systems."There are so many examples," she told Dezeen.&nbsp;"They have increased biodiversity, they're producing food, they're flood mitigating, they're resilient in terms of foreshore conditions, they're cleaning water, they're carbon sequestering." They have used waste and byproducts of their ecology system to develop such textile systems which follow the soil to soil economy and are utilised until it reaches a stage where it cant be upcycled or recycled further. They are the masters of extending the lifetime of a product and using it until they cant think of any other use. They use the neglected silk cocoon to make yarn, cotton was grown as a crop to replenish the soil which they started using to make yarn. For dyeing, they used the local plants and natural materials fallen around them to color. Because of their belief, that they owe everything to nature and worshipped nature, they utilised its resources respectfully...not more than what is needed. if they take, they have to give it back.Similarly, they have developed circular systems for their clothing where natural waste is used for their clothing. They have integrated their culture and traditions in their textiles as a means of transfer of knowledge.Each region have their own textile techniques or traditions informing that a similar definition of circular design wont work in all the geographical areas.For example in hilly areas, there is backstrap loom as the conditions dont allow for a frame loom for weaving. They adjusted their system according to natural conditions... but after industrial revolution we have refused to adjust and changed natural conditions to fit our requirements, we have changed landscapes for our requirement. Example of cotton, the way something is processed or developed makes the difference...design and product process is crititcal.
