Respect other people as a people

Reading about the modern fate of the northern peoples of Alaska and Canada, one can find statements that modern civilization, having appeared in the areas inhabited by aborigines, has a destructive and corrupting effect on their way of life. Alaskan Eskimos, wrote Leantis, an American ethnographer, are in danger of becoming "dishwashers and laborers on airfields and construction sites." The oil boom that came to Alaska is being compared by its effect on the lives of the local population... with the occupation of the enemy army, sweeping away the villages of the aborigines, their hunting grounds, and fisheries in its path...


Such evidence encourages us to appreciate another feature of Sakhalin life: the industrial centers here have always played the role of stimulants for improving the lives of nivkhs. In all respects — economically, culturally, and everyday. Just in the north of Sakhalin, in the places of the original habitat of the Nivkh, there is a significant industrial area. And just an oil one. And the gas goes to Nekrasovka from the nearest oil field. Cooperation with industry, mutual assistance (Krasnaya Zarya products arrive on the table of oil workers) — this is the norm.


It is also important to note something else: the natural environment in which Sakhalin old—timers used to live has remained almost untouched - all these coastal sea and river fishing, virgin taiga with sables and bears. And without a native habitat, a person loses a significant part of his uniqueness. Especially a man from the North, in whom proximity to nature is a wonderful personality trait.


Yes, the Nivkh live in the same places, they fish and hunt there, where their ancestors, who first met Russian explorers three hundred years ago, lived. Only the number of villages has decreased: modern comfort is easier to achieve in large settlements.


Here the question arises: does the standardization of everyday life have its advantages and disadvantages? Is something valuable that should be preserved from the peculiar traditions of culture being lost? This danger is understood in Nekrasovka. Therefore, the labor training programs at the local school include folk embroidery, wood carving and other types of national needlework. A children's art school with a focus on applied crafts is opening in Nekrasovka. There is a national dance ensemble attached to the village club. And, of course, the traditions of the national cuisine are maintained, in which fish in a variety of species excel...


Readers will understand why we have quoted excerpts from the letter. But I would like to emphasize one phrase in it: "We want to be respected as a people." The Indian chief is right: this is the initial condition of equality.


We Soviet people have been taught from a young age to respect any nation, small or large, "our own" or "someone else's." Let everyone know the happiness of real life! Real free porn movies https://exporntoons.net online porn USA, UK, AU, Europe.
