The life of an Il Torobo hunter-gatherer. Schooling the World (2010) If you wanted to change an ancient culture in a generation, how would you do it?
You would change the way it educates its children. The U.S. Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools. Utopia. Epic in its production, scope and revelations, Utopia represents a long journey through the ‘secret country’ of John Pilger’s homeland.
It is his fourth film about Indigenous Australia, the oldest, most enduring human presence on Earth. Released in 2013 and filmed over two years, Utopia breaks what amounts to a recurring national silence about the brutalising of Indigenous people. One of the film's striking elements is the trust given to Pilger by so many indigenous Australians to ‘voice their voices’.

What the Aztecs can teach us about happiness and the good life. In the spring semester of the school year, I teach a class called ‘Happiness’.
It’s always packed with students because, like most people, they want to learn the secret to feeling fulfilled. ‘How many of you want to be happy in life?’ I ask. Everyone raises a hand. Always. Then I lay out the evidence that having kids makes most people more miserable, and that their sense of wellbeing returns to its former levels only after the last child has left the house.

Environmental groups ask nations to give land to natives for protection. The world’s indigenous, or native, communities need to be given a bigger role in slowing climate change, according to a new study.
The study shows at least a quarter of forest carbon is stored on native land, particularly in Brazil. Forest carbon is the total reserve of carbon contained in forest ecosystems. Without protections, this carbon could be released into the atmosphere as carbon-dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. The research was conducted by a group of academic institutions and environmental organizations. It is the most comprehensive effort yet to measure the contribution of traditional forest guardians in reducing carbon emissions. Authors say expanding tribal land rights is the most cost-effective way to protect forests and keep their carbon out of the atmosphere.

Well, the US Government is taking control of Native American lands and forcing them to allow oil developers to drill on their land and move oil via pipelines.
