Endangered Peoples
A) Today, it is not distance, but culture that separates
the peoples of the world. The central question of our time
may be how to deal with cultural differences. So begins the
book, Endangered Peoples, by Art Davidson. It is an attempt
to provide understanding of the issues affecting the worlds
native peoples. This book tells the stories of 21 tribes,
cultures, and cultural areas that are struggling to survive.
It tells each story through the voice of a member of the
tribe .Mr. Davidson recorded their words. Art Wolfe and John
Isaac took pictures of them. The organization called the
Sierra Club published the book.
B) The native groups live far apart in North America or
South America, Africa or Asia. Yet their situations are
similar. They are fighting the march of progress in an effort
to keep themselves and their cultures alive. Some of them
follow ancient ways most of the time. Some follow modern ways
most of the time. They have one foot in ancient world and one
foot in modern world. They hope to continue to balance
between these two worlds. Yet the pressures to forget their
traditions and join the modern world may be too great.
C) Rigoberta Menchu of Guatemala, the Nobel Peace Prize
winner in 1992, offers her thoughts in the beginning of the
book Endangered Peoples. She notes that many people claim
that native people are like stories from the past. They are
ruins that have died. She disagrees strongly. She says native
communities are not remains of the past. They have a future,
and they have much wisdom and richness to offer the rest of
the world.
D) Art Davidson traveled thousands of miles around the
world while working on the book. He talked to many people to
gather their thoughts and feelings. Mr. Davidson notes that
their desires are the same. People want to remain themselves~
he says. They want to raise their children the way they were
raised. They want their children to speak their mother tongue,
their own langua
