TL;DR
> Archaeologists have uncovered dense urban centres that would have been home to up to 10,000 inhabitants along riverbanks, with fields and cultivated orchards of Brazil nuts, palm and fruit trees stretching for tens of kilometres. Remote sensing has revealed extensive earthworks, including cities, causeways, canals, graveyards and huge areas of ridged fields
>We are talking of enourmous structures, with diameters ranging from 100 to 300 meters, connected by straight orthogonal roads. They are strategically located on plateaux tops above the river valleys

This are the Selknam they lived in the south of south america, near Antartica, and they went around dressed like that on the cold.
From that region you have Yaganes, Yamanes Onas y Selknam.
They have some crazy mythology.

This is a bronzeworking civilization that coexisted with Shang China around 1000 BC. It was really only discovered in the '80s:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanxingdui
The Tlingit are pretty based
iirc their entire society was pretty much based around rape
>>998657
The Bronze Tree in particular is considered one of the most complex bronze artifacts from the Chalcolithic.
>>998667
Also quite good looking
>>998667
Before 1867 the Tlingit were avid practitioners of slavery. The outward wealth of a person or family was roughly calculated by the number of slaves held. Slaves were taken from all peoples that the Tlingit encountered, from the Aleuts in the west, the Athabascan tribes of the interior, and all of the many tribes along the Pacific coast as far south as California. Slaves were bought and sold in a barter economy along the same lines as any other trade goods. They were often ceremonially freed at potlatches, the giving of freedom to the slave being a gift from the potlatch holder. However, they were just as often ceremonially killed at potlatches as well, to demonstrate economic power or to provide slaves for dead relatives in the afterlife. Treatment of slaves seems to have differed from individual to individual, and both stories and historical records give examples of slaves being treated very kindly as well as very cruelly.
Since slavery was an important economic activity to the Tlingit, it came as a tremendous blow to the society when emancipation was enforced in Alaska after its purchase by the United States from Russia. This forced removal of slaves from the culture incensed many Tlingit who were not so disturbed by its outlawing as much as by the fact that they were not repaid for their loss of property. In a move traditional against those with unpaid debts, a totem pole was erected that would shame the Americans for not having paid back the Tlingits for their loss, and at its top for all to see was a very carefully executed carving of Abraham Lincoln, whom the Tlingits were told was the person responsible for freeing the slaves. This has since been frequently misinterpreted as intending to honor Lincoln, but it was in fact done as a way to shame the US government into repaying the Tlingits for a profound loss of wealth.

Honestly, I think all tribes except the most miserable either had awesome masks, awesome bodypaint, complicated dances and music, intensive body modification, great handicrafts, ridiculously complicated religious rituals and social structures, or a combination of the above. People have to keep busy, you know.
But it's more popular to show them sitting on their asses or falling into white trash-style modernity.

>>998758
Kind of this. Most did, at least according to the ethnohistoric record. But those kinds of practices didn't last very long after colonization because missionaries worked hard to end it. Many of the ceremonies that involved that stuff also weren't very public, so it was easy for secret knowledge and traditions to die out.

>Selk'nam religion was a complex system of beliefs. It described spirit beings as a part of the past, in creation myth. Temåukel was the name of the great supernatural entity who they believed kept the world order. The creator deity of the world was called Kénos or Quénos.[8]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selknam_mythology
They have been described as henotheistic, but they believe there's one god and the ancestors or spirits, that are the founding fathers, the first humans.
The spirits you see there are a revenge between men and womans, over some complicated dispute.
>>1000622
Doesn't buzzing them with planes and helicopters already fundamentally alter these "uncontacted" tribes? I mean I'd imagine something like that would fuck with their minds quite a bit.
>>1000622
Something along these lines, probably:

>>1000639
nah they probably just give it some mythological explanation and then forgot it happened because they gotta get dat jungle meat and build more mud huts
>>1000654
That mud huts look comfy as hell.
>>1000622
Most of them are aware of westerners though from their neighbors who do deal with them. Also many of them choose to go uncontacted cause they had shitty experiences with foreigners in the past .

The Baining of Papua New Guinea:
> The Bainingâone of the indigenous cultural groups of Papua New Guineaâhave the reputation, at least among some researchers, of being the dullest culture on earth. Early in his career, in the 1920s, the famous British anthropologist Gregory Bateson spent 14 months among them, until he finally left in frustration. He called them âunstudiable,â because of their reluctance to say anything interesting about their lives and their failure to exhibit much activity beyond the mundane routines of daily work, and he later wrote that they lived âa drab and colorless existence.â

Anthropologist Michael Heckenberger of the University of Florida teamed with the local Kuikuro people in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso to uncover 28 towns, villages and hamlets that may have supported as many as 50,000 people within roughly 7,700 square miles (20,000 square kilometers) of forestâan area slightly smaller than New Jersey. The larger towns boasted defensive ditches 10 feet (three meters) deep and 33 feet (10 meters) wide backed by a wooden palisade as well as large plazas, some reaching 490 feet (150 meters) across.
The remains of houses and ceramic cooking utensils show that humans occupied these cities for around 1,000 years, from roughly 1,500 years to as recently as 400 years ago. Satellite pictures reveal that during that time, the inhabitants carved roads through the jungle; all plaza villages had a major road that ran northeast to southwest along the summer solstice axis and linked to other settlements as much as three miles (five kilometers) away. There were bridges on some of the roads and others had canoe canals running alongside them.
The remains of the settlements also hint at surrounding large fields of manioc, or cassava (a starchy root that is still a staple part of the Brazilian diet) as well as the earthen dams and artificial ponds of fish farming, still practiced by people who may be the present-day descendants of the Kuikuro. Although such "garden cities," as Heckenberger describes them in Science, do not match the dense urbanism of contemporary Brazilian metropolises such as Rio de Janeiro or SĂŁo Paulo, they do blend seamlessly into the jungle and maximize use of limited natural resources. They also suggest that the rainforest bears the marks of intense human habitation, rather than being pristine.

These are dancers of Qoyllur Riti or Star Snow Festival, they represent the ukuku, a demigod born of a human woman and a Jukumari, an andean bear.
Many things are said about the ukuku, like he was so fucking strong, liked to bring glacier water to the people in times of need, he was able cross the boundary between worlds, and that he was the only one able to face the "condemned", evil souls that wander the andean glaciers at night.
One version of the legend says that the ukuku clashed with his father to free his mother and together they returned to civilization but soon he was rejected by the people for being so strong and frightening.
Then, he lived alone in the wild, like a hermit. Where gods granted him knowledge of the secret of the world that he had to keep for himself forever.

Thing is many people were beaten into self loathing over their ways or culture and that is a sentiment very hard to remove from a person as seen with victims of the Residential Schools forgetting their mother tongue or still be able to speak it but shamed to the point they'll never utter another word of it.
What's worse is that it spreads from generation to generation with abuse in various ways often being the perpetrator of the same style of upbringing that they themselves were victim too.
Worldwide it kinda varies. New world it's super heavy but it's pretty frequent in other parts of the world and manifests in different forms.
Nice thread you have here.

It is really sad, my grandmother was Tr'ondek Hwech'in but there wasn't a trace of pride in her heritage and died ashamed who she was. First Nations people here in Canada have been royally fucked over with no clear solution to their problems. The government keeps throwing money at them but their reserves are on the worst possible land in many cases, and between the rampant alcoholism, drug use, and corruption, it really only serves to make racists hate them more. Thankfully some tribes are managing to turn things around and natives are Canada's fastest growing demographic, so whatever happens in the next few decades should be interesting
>>1005039
>The government keeps throwing money at them but their reserves are on the worst possible land in many cases
Big flaw I see in many parts of the world.
Throwing money with no real analysis of the problem. worst thing is that when it doesn't work it'll lead them to say "well we gave them money but nothing changed SO NOTHING WORKS!" even if they ignore the constant 3rd party consultations and recommendations.

When reading Portrait of the Artist there was a quote which really rung true in regards to the fundamentally destructive legacy of colonialism.
In regards to the English language in Ireland, the main character says:
"The language in which we are speaking is his before it is mine. How different are the words home, Christ, ale, master, on his lips and on mine! I cannot speak or write these words without unrest of spirit. His language, so familiar and so foreign, will always be for me an acquired speech. I have not made or accepted its words. My voice holds them at bay. My soul frets in the shadow of his language."

The Chiribaya were a culture that lived in southern Peru from the 10th century and ended in 1350 when it was annexed to the Inca empire, they were expert breeders of south american camelids (their breeds became extinct with the passage of time by the lack of eugenics in the viceroyalty).
What is noteworthy about them is that they were diehard lover of their sheepdogs, which needed for the large populations of llamas and alpacas that they had. In fact their dogs were loved so much that they were buried like people, with their most cherished possessions in life (toys) and their favorite foods.

It's a sense of power.
Think of it, you're from a strange land, you consider yourself superior in civilization, and you're penetrating for pleasure the concept of a foreign woman of 'lesser culture'.
It's like a sadist just made contextual.
That is to say, unless you also fantasize about falling in love and the qualities that make primitive-technology women ideal? Then there may be some actual explaining to do, rather than just talk about fetishes and philia.

The normal thing for people in the stage of development of the selk'nam would have been animism. Instead they felt the need to explain the world around them in very refined terms. It's actually quite mysterious how they got there in the first place. You have to remember: the selk'nam were just humble hunter gatherers, not like the mapuches for instance, who were sedentary, but with a very narrow minded view of the trascendental world: they just worshiped ancestors; they didn't even have gods.
