Change Is No Threat To

Risk Discomfort And Solitude For Understanding.

On Paper I Would Be A Rather Bold Individual In Our Culture.

Genocide, The Physical Extinction Of A People, Is Universally Condemned, But Ethnocide, The Destruction Of People's Way Of Life, Is Not Only Not Condemned, It's Universally Celebrated As Part Of A Development Strategy.

Cultural Survival Is Not About Preservation, Sequestering Indigenous Peoples In Enclaves Like Some Sort Of Zoological Specimens. Change Itself Does Note Destroy A Culture. All Societies Are Constantly Evolving. Indeed A Culture Survives When It Has Enough Confidence In Its Past And Enough Say In Its Future To Maintain Its Spirit And Essence Through All The Changes It Will Inevitably Undergo.

The World In Which You Were Born Is Just One Model Of Reality. Other Cultures Are Not Failed Attempts At Being You; They Are Unique Manifestations Of The Human Spirit.
