Al Murrah is a group of indigenous people from Southern Arabia. There are 15,000 people. They travel about 1800 miles each year. I think it is important to preserve indigenous cultures because to show respect.
Indigenous peoples are custodians of some of the most biologically diverse territories in the world. They are also responsible for a great deal of the world’s linguistic and cultural diversity, and their traditional knowledge has been and continues to be an invaluable resource that benefits all of mankind. Yet, indigenous peoples continue to suffer discrimination, marginalization, extreme poverty and conflict. Some are being dispossessed of their traditional lands as their livelihoods are being undermined. Meanwhile, their belief systems, cultures, languages and ways of life continue to be threatened, sometimes even by extinction. Increasingly, governments are recognizing these threats, and matching such recognition with action. From land claims settlements and constitutional amendments to important symbolic actions such as apologies for past treatment of indigenous peoples, governments around the world are making important steps towards addressing indigenous peoples’ concerns. Yes I think it is important to preserve indigenous cultures because culture is also that aspect of our existence which makes us similar to some people, yet different from the majority of the people in the world.
