Glorification of primitive cultures

  • Romanticizing indigenous societies
  • Romanticizing traditional peoples

Claim

Although some live close to the earth and its life forms, it is to no one's benefit to romanticize indigenous and traditional peoples. They themselves reject an 'ecologically nobme savage' approach that romanticizes their relationship with nature.
