What are some ways to preserve the indigenous people and their culture?

Answer 1

You need to be specific. The indigenous what, where?

Answer 2

To what purpose are you preserving the indigenous people? We were all indigenous people at one point in time and education brought us to today.
Preserve the history, all parts of the culture but let the people come into the modern world. Don't keep them like pets in the forest to study for science.

Answer 3

Study their culture and language now and make records as completely as possible (though the idea that any account could be complete is silly). It's the only way to preserve other cultures. Beyond that, all societies will incorporate whatever aspects of other cultures they like when they want to. It's not a matter of some outside force making them 'modernize' or keeping them 'native'. There is no modern and no primitive. All cultures have had the same amount of time to be perpetually improving their way of life according to their location, tradition, values, and world view. This includes incorporating whatever ideas we come across and like.

Answer 4

What do you mean? Conserve them in a glass cage in a museum and on record and movies. We can do nothing for them if they arn't willing to do it for themselves. And there are indigenous cultures assimilated so deeply into the structure of civilization that they too are already sewn into cultural reality in ways that will preserve them as long as our civilization continues.

Answer 5

In museums. It would be stupid and unwise to not integrate them into modern societies. Keeping them "primitive" for the sake of anthropologists or some notion of diversity is not caring about what is best for the people themselves.

They went to far in the past by destroying their cultures but they should do what they can to help them into the 21 century.

Answer 6

The Prime Directive dictates that there can be no interference with the internal affairs of other civilizations. In many respects, then, the prime directive can be considered the galactic analogue of Westphalian sovereignty.

Answer 7

Keep traditions going and record music, folklores and stories if they have no written language.

Answer 8

Leave them alone. Don't interfere, Don't associate, contaminate, or introduce anything that will alter their existence.

Answer 9

freeze them in carbonite and take them to jabba the hut


oh and dont forget their ipods
