"The massacre of tribal peoples and colonial thinking lead to loss of
identity, says Survival International researcher."

Via Muse, who added:

"A way of thinking is lost every time a language is lost...and it does
make a difference. We need diversity of thought to live lives that are
textured, nuanched, and reflect different ways of understanding
ourselves, one another, and our living world. This diversity makes
scientific, technical, interpersonal, and gaiopathic breakthroughs
possible."
