Everything children can learn is not in textbooks (much less!), In fact we have already seen that the health messages they contain are of doubtful evidence.
It is also not possible to learn everything from the media (the world exists beyond the news, or not?).
We are not even the ones who will provide them all the necessary learning, because part of them will come from the experience. But if we can help them to have critical thinking, and to see with other eyes ... this is what I thought to see this short that throws the message that 'indigenous peoples are not primitive'.
And after thinking about it, I have shared it with my children, so that they know that throughout the world, the indigenous and tribal peoples who live in their own lands With freedom to make their own decisions about their lives, they thrive.
Although (in contrast), those who have been expelled from their land or who will never have access to their resources are often condemned to become the poorest of the poor and to live on the margins of society
If I say that they are not primitive, it is because they are proud people of having a culture that has endured (not unbreakable, but getting quite close), to have ample spaces to develop (and not like us who move between the 90 meters of the house, the few of the office, and the park to which we take the children ... for the little ones, the reduced space is not a great relief either) from college).
They are also proud to possess the wealth of their own language and fertile lands.
In the short you can see indigenous Dongria Kondhs and baigas from India, Awás, Waiapis and Enawene Nawes from Brazil and Bushmen from Botswana.
The provocative message of the film (in English), 'No poverty, no bombs, no pollution, no corruption, no prisons, no caste system, and people call them primitives? ' offers an image of the real indigenous peoples, as people who have every reason in the world to be proud of their ways of life.
I have already taught this short to my children, so they can see that there are other ways of life, and they are all valid; so that they feel envious of the freedom of some people They only ask for respect for their culture and territorial rights.
