Indigenous Cultures
The future of our planet depends on saving both the
remaining biologically diverse ecosystems and the cultural, credible diversity
of the tribal peoples of the world. The ancient cultures of native
peoples, threatened by modern assimilation, are the only known, proven time-tested
models for the sustainable consumption of the Earth’s threatened natural
resources.
Native Planet hopes that you enjoy our cultural documentaries that will show
you the fascinating world of indigenous peoples and their unique cultures—and
why the preservation of their tribal lifeways is essential to a world where
life is sustainable and both cultural diversity and biological diversity
flourish.

Indigenous Mapping: Ethnic Communities from Around
the World
One of Native Planet’s main goals is to raise global
awareness of all traditional cultures as well as the challenges they are facing.
We are producing one of the most comprehensive databases available about
indigenous communities to record these cultures before they vanish or are
assimilated. We are also making this information available to the public so
that schools, scholars and all other interested readers may benefit from it.
