mar52: 5:51pm Oct 12, 2006: Thxs so much to all for your input and comments. Just one more thing about my question. The author learned just "some saberes", not everything. That is why I do not want to put "the wisdom". Sorry, I should have said it first. The author intends to continue learning about it and so he is submitting a request to continue his studies abroad.

the wisdom of the indigenous worldview

Explanation:
This is very similar to your take and also to Karin's answer. I steer away from using "native" which some consider politically incorrect. And "world view" can also be spelled as one word.

I would also consider "She taught me the wisdom of ..."which sounds more natural to me in English.

Here are some examples:
"The Red Road: Indigenous Worldview as a Prerequisite for Effective Character Education." (fr the last link below)

and The Indigenous Worldview as a Prerequisite for Effective Civic Learning in Higher Education.

neutral Joss Heywood: perhaps "wisdom" is too positive for the tone of the original? perhaps "knowledge about", and it should be "the" native world view
