The Native American culture taught a balance of give and take with themselves and nature. There was greed in them, but it was tied to increasing their prospects for survival in the near future. In hunting/agrarian tribes, killing more buffalo than needed would give them an easier time to face the winter, but they knew that killing too many would be suicidal or would force them to relocate. Success to them could be attained by their role in the community or by their personal feats of endurance and skill, factors that didn't have to be motivated by greed.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

"Native American" culture?!? which tribe?!? all of them?!? compare the Macaw and the Apache with the Sioux and the Cherokee... to claim that "Native American" culture anything as a generality is ignorance... there were and are over 300 distinct "Native American" cultures... you are using a perverted view of "Native American" culture that some WHITE ENVIRONMENTALIST has invented to help sell his lies... there is no "Native American" culture... and in the future, please call us "Indians" as the ignorant Columbus did... "Native American" is an insult because ANY idiot born on this continent is a "Native American"
