the fate of indigenous populations
Poppy believe that it's a natural human trait to be curious about differences within the human family, but it’s also a natural human trait to feel threatened by different tribes moving in your territory.
"I imagine that when the first white men ventured into unknown continents -- Asia, Africa, America and Australia -- they were treated with respect and curiosity,” says Poppy, “and in some cases they were embraced, fussed over and made to feel welcome.”
“That’s how my indigenous tribe treated people from Africa and the Indian sub-continent when they first trickled into English villages after WWII.”
"And yet how quickly this curiosity and friendliness turns to antagonism and fear when the trickle becomes a massive flood of newcomers," says Poppy, “and especially so when they start imposing their cultural values upon indigenous tribes.”
“If is it the fate of all indigenous populations to be overpowered by invading tribes – invited or otherwise,” says Poppy, “then this may be good for improving the genetic variability of offspring – providing that the tribes interbreed – but it is not so good for preserving unique cultures, or unique physical characteristics.”
"And this is why indigenous populations need to be protected," says Poppy. "It is not racism - there is no belief that one race is superior to another - it is simply that differences need to be celebrated."
