Indigenous self-empowerment

The problem with indigenous lobbying is that it requires indigens to unite under a common cause. The indigenous, when denoting comparatively primitive social models, are a group 'frozen in time', and as such have not moved past small tribal units. Clearly larger populations require more administrative work and more social organisation than small intimate units, and one might even propose that rapid population growth reflects an institutionalisation of birth and death. As most indigenous cultures are parochial, decentralised and nomadic, there is a natural struggle against, or active resistance against, homogenisation. Their failure to organise makes them redundant in the political arena.
