Native cultures refer to the diverse groups of people who have historical ties to specific regions, often predating colonization. These cultures are characterized by unique languages, traditions, and social structures that reflect their connection to the land and environment. Examples include the Native American tribes in North America and the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. Many native cultures have rich oral traditions, storytelling, and art forms that convey their history and beliefs. They often practice sustainable living, utilizing local resources in harmony with nature. Preservation of these cultures is vital, as they contribute to global diversity and understanding of human history.
