OK I'll withdraw the word white and substiute Western or European - and I would be very happy for you to challenge me. 

My argument is that generally speaking,people who have grown up in a western culture take it for granted that it is the only civilised way to live and that other cultures who have had this way of life imposed upon them should be grateful for it.

I have also argued that the only real benefit of western civiisation to the human race has been the  advancement of medicine which has alleviated a great deal of pain and suffering. Any other benefits  - literacy, technology etc -  are only useful  in a literate, technological (I.e. western) culture. A hunter gatherer society has no need for them and can thrive quite happily without them - as aboriginal society did for 50,000 years.

Unfortunately culture is like evolution - it cannot go back to square one and start again, only 'improve' on what is already there. And  it  human beings are programmed to be inventive. So once a society has been 'civilised' it cannot go back to square one and work on improving  it's hunter gatherer skills, it is caught in the rat race of the culture that has been imposed on it. It may make that society more competitive, more sophisticated and more 'civilised, but whether it makes it contented  is debatable.

No need to work hard other than finding/catching what was readily available to eat.  

Travelled light and on foot.  

A couple of "tools" and musical instruments fashioned from nature's supply.  

Corroborees to honour Dream Time.

Testing.....it appears  the previous link given is having problems.  Try this. http://austhrutime.com/australian_aboriginal_tribes.htm

It all sounds remarkably familiar - except this bit. Fighting between tribes was not unknown, but in no case could this fighting be caused by, or lead to, the taking over of the territory of one tribe by another. Neither side would consider that situation

They have those tours, Ecar

The trouble is, as with travelling any real distance, is that I need to be able to get there, and back, in the space of a couple of hours.

Either that or find someone reliable enough to feed the animals.

You're right, some kind of matter transport/teleport would be easier to find.
