Probably there's nothing of great importance. Probably some sort of higher concept of empathy but that concept is lacking in most Westerners as well... |

It depends on which Western culture we're talking about! I'd have to put equality of women pretty high up there along with open-mindedness willingness to explore outside of tradition but these things may already exist.... |

I don't know! I feel like the smarter we get the bigger and better our machines get the worse the situation of the earth gets. So I would say they should learn from our mistakes! |

If the Aboriginal people could learn how to work the legal and business systems in place it would be useful in protecting their heritage. |

I know many Aboriginals personally who are filled with hate and resentment for the descendants of those who colonized their land. To learn to take a step back and look at human beings from a global perspective that everyone was native to somewhere at some point and has their own culture to bring along and share we can all learn and grow from each other if we bury the hatchet. |
