Indigenous people have a wisdom, a way, that would seem to be the very thing that white fellas are so often yearning for.
Keep It Simple Stupid!

  walk among the stars.  Our dead never forget this beautiful earth, for it
  is the mother of the red man.  We are part of the earth and it is part of
  us.  The perfumed flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great
  eagle, these are our brothers.  The rocky crests, the juices in the
  meadows, the body heat of the pony, and man --- all belong to the same
  family.

If all the beasts were gone, man
  would die from a great loneliness of the spirit.  For whatever happens to
  the beasts, soon happens to man. <I> All things are connected.</I>

I have seen a
  thousand rotting buffaloes on the prairie, left by the white man who shot
  them from a passing train.  I am a savage and do not understand how the
  smoking iron horse can be made more important than the buffalo that we kill
  only to stay alive.
