Epistemic injustice refers to epistemological injustice, which usually takes two forms: testimonial injustice and hermeneutical injustice. Epistemic injustices relate to the categories of knowledge and experience that law and public policy sanctions. Furthermore, the fundamental conflict between indigenous peoples and Western scientists stems from differences in thought systems, especially the understanding of nature. Such differences seriously affect the formation of public policies and may cause various forms of inequality. Because the Western world finds it difficult to understand the worldview and values ​​of indigenous peoples, it is also difficult for them to see, understand, and measure the harm suffered by indigenous peoples, and therefore it is impossible to use the existing legal system to compensate for the harm.

Testimonial injustice is a form of epistemic injustice, which can be understood as the unequal treatment of individuals as knowledge providers, which usually stems from identity barriers. More specifically, it is to judge whether a person's words are credible based on their identity. The Western world has formed a system of testimonial injustice. For example, expert witnesses who understand the culture of a certain tribe are often not members of that tribe, but people who have attended Western universities and obtained a degree certificate. On the contrary, tribal members do not have more right to interpret their own culture than so-called experts.

On the contrary, tribal members do not have more right to interpret their own culture than so-called experts. Ermeneutical injustice is the inequality suffered by individuals as subjects of social understanding. This inequality mainly comes from the fact that a certain group is structurally biased and cannot understand the suffering of other groups. For example, it is difficult for people in the Western world to understand the concept of "destroying the traditional way of life" for indigenous people, so they cannot measure the value of "cultural damage." Because it is difficult to measure non-material harm using Western values, many of the spiritual sufferings of indigenous peoples are hidden, and material sufferings are also interpreted by Western society as spiritual sufferings, such as "the destruction of traditional lifestyles." In addition, Western society is unable to measure the value of some items given by indigenous peoples, just as they rename some places without caring that there are already indigenous names here. And these cultural losses and neglect cannot be measured by law.
