Indigenous peoples part 1

Southwestern cliff dwellings. 

The subject of indigenous people is rather interesting. Indigenous peoples have been in existence for thousands of years, before the colonists, Europeans...etc. They originally had dominated the land; the U.S was a collection of thousands of tribes each living in a sustainable fashion. The indigenous bushmen tribe used to be isolated in the South Africa region living contently. The aboriginals also lived off primitive skills in Australia.

*Importance: Indigenous peoples have an amazing knowledge. They are the only people who live sustainably; that is rather, a people who are not a risk of destroying each other with nuclear weapons, creating massive environmental disasters, and a huge resource intensive lifestyle.

*They also (especially the South American tribes) have a speculator knowledge of the immense rain-forest biodiversity. Many drugs and life-saving cures for cancers and diseases are from chemical-compounds in these highly unique plants. There are millions of these plant species and the Natives have been using their medicinal properties (and spiritual properties via hallucinogenic plants in their ideology/culture)  for thousands of years (which would be a real benefit for modern society's endless fight against disease and cancer.

* Their culture is very unique and can offer many new insights. For instance, the Bushmen are AMAZING trackers. They have been used by archaeologists to study thousands year old tracks. The Native Americans are also very good trackers. In addition, they have interesting survival techniques which can be learned from.

More coming soon.
