liora,
people all over the planet were once 'indigenous'.population growth ended that,it was inevitable.
your "rainbow warrior" 'post' is very enlightening but is it all or nothing for indigenous indians.the USA is a very large continent which gave hope to many around
the globe to begin a new life,very much like the one you speak of in your story.
so to regain the 'spiritual life' the indigenous had one has the rest of the planet
destroyed by whatever means deemed neccessary. that sounds just a wee bit harsh.
i'm english.i lived in New Zealand for 15 years.as you know the Moari people were
there before Britain walked in.the Maori were not indigenous to that country but they
were not much different from it.there was also another race living there with tham at the time ,i suppose what you'd call close cousins,much the same as American indian.
they were called Maiori.
when i arrived there i was informed that all now that exist's in that tribe are a brother and sister, the rest had been cannabilized, before the British arrived.
the point i'm making there is that it not the 'airy fairy' world that you portray,
and you cannot go on blaming western society for ill gains.unfortunately the strongest survive, much as the same as the animal kingdom.i dont like it as much you dont but that's this world.
your next world has the 'cave' which is sacred .you dont learn from experience do you?
we have 'god',we have 'factions'.power corrupts........
Tom.
