Abstract
Analizamos la situación de los últimos
indígenas que actualmente viven dispersos
en los distintos continentes, a pesar de las
presiones crecientes de las sociedades desarrolladas
a fin de explotar sus territorios. Sus
culturas ancestrales les han protegido tanto
de las enfermedades crónicas, producidas
por el “progreso”, como de muchos trastornos
mentales, gracias a valores de respeto
por la naturaleza y fuertes lazos de solidaridad
grupal. El ritmo de vida de estos aborígenes,
ligado a la naturaleza, es comparado
con el estilo de vida estresante de nuestras
sociedades industrializadas y consumistas.
La cuestión es qué podemos recuperar
de estos valores perdidos y por otra parte,
cómo podemos ayudar a estos pueblos que
anhelan el desarrollo para que lo alcancen
sin perder esos valores que les protegido hasta
el presente
We analyze the situation of the last indigenous people who currently live scattered in different continents, despite the increasing pressures of developed societies to exploit their territories. Their ancestral cultures have protected them both from chronic diseases, caused by “progress”, and from many mental disorders, thanks to values of respect for nature and strong bonds of group solidarity. The rhythm of life of these aborigines, linked to nature, is compared to the stressful lifestyle of our industrialized and consumerist societies. The question is what can we recover from these lost values and, on the other hand, how can we help these people who yearn for development to achieve it without losing those values that have protected them until the present
