Reply to comment by bac5665 in The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy

While the Indigenous relationship with Nature is often highly simplified and politicized -- some species were definitely hunted to extinction, they sometimes did extract more from the land than it could give and paid the price, etc - it is very much demonstrably true that they had a more intuitive and sutainable way of relating to the environment than we do. They have done studies and reviews on this.
