To begin, the culture across the indigenous people is tremendously different than those in the typical world. They have so much that could be lost is the world does not try to preserve them, including art, language and religion. Firstly, art is a huge part of culture in indigenous people, and if it was lost, all the stories behind it would disappear …show more content…
They have scientific advancements, an endless history, and a way of living which is foreign to the rest of the world. For instance, over the years, the world has gained so much knowledge from scientific experiments and projects, which have revealed so much information. Genius scientists such as Albert Einstein, Chris Hadfield, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, etc.. The indigenous have used their scientific knowledge to make new and innovative methods of agriculture, one called permaculture, which was developed in the 1970s by Bill Molson and David Holmgren, this method focuses on perennial farming practices that use nature patterns and relationships and was based on other techniques which the indigenous have created over the years (Cultural Survival, 2009). They have taught so much to the world, yet, they did so because of their inclusion on society, and by sharing all of their findings/knowledge with the world. Since the indigenous have so much hidden knowledge, kept from society, who is to say that they do not have advanced scientific techniques, which would be long lost with their extinction. In addition, history is blurry enough on its own, with the loss of indigenous knowledge of their history, the world will never know their true story.

They were used to catch seafood, which ends up in Nestlé supply chain (CBC News, Martha Mendoza, November 23, 2015). A law which was made hundreds of years ago is being overlooked because of the lack of care for indigenous. Also, the indigenous deserve the right to nondiscrimination. The indigenous are marginalized, and punished by the legal system, this can result in abuse and risk of violence (Amensty), they are denied jobs, fair wages and are picked on continuously. No one should be obligated to follow the oppression of their ancestors - as the indigenous commonly are forced to do. They need global support to remain strong and stand up for themselves. Another point is the indigenous’ workers rights, which are also denied to them, not being able to participate directly in society and to the economy because of the impossibility to get a job as an indigenous is a real struggle. With their inability to get and maintain
