You could take the word fuck out of the original comment and it would still have the clear reasoning that Gordon Price as a white person should not be telling an indigenous group that what they want to do is not the "Indigenous way". White person should not define "Indigenous way". How else can we misinterpret this argument?

> White person should not define "Indigenous way" Any person, white, black, asian, whatever, can however assess whether this development is in line with the indigenous tradition or something that might distort or endanger it. Or do you think the same discussion doensn't happen within the indigenous community as well?

Most outsiders lack the understanding of what indigenous way of life entails beyond stereotypes, and are therefor poor judges. Besides, indigenous culture has been distorted and endangered by oppresssion, the least we can do as outsiders is let them reclaim and rebuilt their traditions how they want it.
