The meditative manner in which they enjoy their music. To shut out the outside world and explore the sounds you're creating (with or without others) is the most rewarding way to play an instrument. |

Respect and honor and remembering what it means to breathe. I believe that Western Society (generally speaking) a society into which I was born to moves too fast talks too fast and does not pay much attention to the land and the sky that sustains our lives. Gone is the tribal family and gone is the respect for our Elders - which is particularly evident in our young people today. This is a sad thing. But there is hope and there are children here in the West who are beginning to see even on their very own. I think that Western society could learn very much from Aboriginal people about honor and respect for our earth for family and I think that my society could learn from the Aboriginal peoples how to breathe again. |

That we cannot own nature. We owe much to nature and we should stop trying to exploit it. If we wish to be happy we have to live in harmony with nature. |

| Keenan Leonard-solis from USA |
That we in Western Society need to SLOW DOWN and REASSESS OUR PRIORITIES! Life moves far too quickly and it can be so easy to get caught up in work/life related stress and anxiety. But we all need to remember that we are fragile beings and we need to take the time to care for our spirits as well as our natural earth. If we do this we will undoubtedly live more fulfilling lives. |

Western society is too centered upon the reward system. It seems people only work/strive for what would benefit themselves or those they care about but not as much for others. There's been a sheer disconnect between people and their environment; the aboriginal people prove as good examples of how to become more 'in tune' with nature. |

In my opinion the most important thing that our western society could learn from Aboriginal people is how to live in peace with our natural surroundings. |
| Per from Sweden |
Since we westerners more or less destroy the earth this is a thing we can learn. How to preserve the planet we live on. Generally speaking the more distant from nature a human is the more he pollutes and destroys the earth. So coming in contact with with nature is of essence if we are to have a planet to live on. |

Western society could learn to value and revere nature from the Aboriginal people. |
| Sean from USA |
They use the Earth to create things that can be enjoyed in nature as well as used for alerting others in the tribe. They live off the land and for that they have grown closer to the world while we have built up societies to separate us from it. |
