  Many indigineous peoples uphold sustainability as crucial to their culture.

  Many of every other nation, race, culture and creed do to.

  It is actually a common logical failing of Western thinking to assume that everyone sees the world and interacts with it the same way (like them).

  See how the second sentence describes the crime you committed in the first?

    Many of every other nation, race, culture and creed do too.

    Not in the way that Indigineous cultures do, see the sources listed by fossilesque above. Indigineous peoples often find themselves in a position where they have to protect the environment from Western corporate interests.

    No, there is value in sperating out the West here. I refer to the past 500 years of human history as the reason why. You can claim that my approach is binary ie. western by seperating them out as an entity but the reality is it was their binary view of the world (ie. white people being superior) that has left us with that division. They had the economic and tchnologic leverage to make that binary our lived reality. Ignoring that would be naive at best, disingenuous at worst.

      There you go doing it again, despite being shown. Your error is deliberate, purposeful. Dangerous, disingenuous and dishonest. You only see what you want and think your blinders fashionable.

        Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Wish you the best on your journey of better understanding our world.
