Indigenous people are citizens of a country that live apart from the modern world. Ancient traditions are still intact in the villages of these natives. They live as though no industrial revolutions went on or, participate in wars in the civil world. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. The culture that the indigenous keep in tact are way of life that humans used hundreds of years ago. Many still rely on hunting and gathering for their food. The land that a large amount of these people live on isn't fertile. Some live in deserts, some live on mountains, but some also live on land baron due to people tearing apart their homes and destroying their crops because they lack respect for the natives. Because they don’t want to change their culture or move off of their ancestral land, indigenous people are being harmed by the people around them.
Native People all over the world are being discriminated against and forced into losing their culture and what makes them individuals, just so they aren’t persecuted against by the government that should be protecting them. There isn't a place to hide from the danger that comes with defying the government. All they can do is follow orders and become feeble under the oppressing factors.
The traditions of their people are discarded to easily by greedy citizens and corporate companies looking to mine, build or simply eradicate the individuality of the indigenous peoples. Innocent lives are being destroyed for unnecessary things such as these. But you can help, by simply informing yourself of this terrible horror going across the world.
