Traditional And Modern Cultures Among Individual Peoples Expose The Divisiveness Of Some Of Their Movements

Division isn't just a tactic of those currently in power but also of those who seek power and it's not limited to any ethnicity. Too often it is projected that only those who already hold power, and those of specific ethnicities can be controlling or have colonizer mentalities, which is pure divisive propaganda.

The indigenous peoples' movements, are not universally supported among their peoples as they encompasse some diverse perspectives and approaches. On one hand, some Indigenous leaders and wisdom-keepers emphasize unity, cooperation, and harmony with the natural world, as seen in quotes like "We are all indigenous people on this planet, and we have to reorganize to get along" (Rebecca Adamson), "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children" (Chief Seattle), and "we are guests on this land - nobody owns it" (Serena Mills). These views stress interconnectedness, responsibility, and collective well-being.

On the other hand, some Landback supporters advocate for Indigenous control over ancestral lands, sometimes using confrontational language and emphasizing exclusionary rights, showing the supreme authority and control from the definition of sovereign as their sole reasoning for their cause. This approach contradicts the more inclusive and harmonious principles mentioned earlier. For instance, statements like "We want to be left alone and have our own control and say away from people" implies a desire to reject the idea of unity and cooperation with non-Indigenous peoples, the rest of the earth and life that calls it home.

These contradictions reflect different strategies and worldviews within the Indigenous movements and cultures. While traditionalists seek reconciliation and shared prosperity, those who embraced western individualist culture prioritize self-determination, territorial control, and segregate authoritive power. Reconciling these perspectives will require respectful dialogue, empathy, and a deep understanding of the complex historical and cultural contexts at play.

Until they themselves engage with these nuances and come to an understanding of what they believe, we cannot work towards a more just and equitable future for all. To do so would be to follow the wisdom of Chief Si'ahl Seattle, Rebecca Adamson, Serena Mills and other like-minded voices of the indigenous cultured peoples and to recognize our oneness as earthlings, otherwise, at some point, we will end up having to liberate the oppressed indigenous a second time in the future from their elitist indigenous rulers, instead of once like the rest of humanity currently needs.
