In your opinion what is the most important thing Aboriginal people could learn from our Western society? |
| Adam Snow from USA |
In my view Western ideals do more harm than good. We're too materialistic and we expect to get want we want WHEN we want it. If Aborigines can learn anything from the West it's this: keep to your own ways the West isn't worth it. |

There are many opportunities that have come available with time and the change in society. Those same opportunities may not have been available to their great grandparents. A lot can be learned based off of individual chosen life paths you see this in many cultures and that knowledge is handed down and over generations there is a shift in a cultures ideology. |

Aboriginal people can learn to teach Western society more about themselves. I honestly do not know what they could learn from Western society. I do not think they are the ones that need to learn anything. |

The most important thing Aboriginal people could learn from our Western society is their own opinion. |
| Michel Cabardos from Canada |
That the world changes and native people everywhere need to change too. But the native people must figure out how to keep part of their culture and tradition and fit it into the new world. Not that easy but should be doable if they keep the values from it. |

Never to treat another human being as inferior. That is not to have an ethnocentric view and think you are better than others - not to be racist/stereotype or be ignorant. |
