However, there is still hope by examining indigenous people and learning from their ways of life. Corinna Bellizzi is joined by Chris Kilham as he looks back on his experiences visiting and living with natives all around the world. He emphasizes how their culture deeply value connections in family and laments how selfish corporate interests slowly destroy them.
