Which Indigenous people is Avatar based on? 🐘🌴
Avatar has broken audience records: the story of the "Omaticaya" has moved the entire world.
The Omaticaya, a fictional ethnic group of the Na'vi—inhabitants of the planet Pandora—have seen their way of life and ancestral lands threatened after a bloody battle against humans, who want to seize them to extract a valuable mineral.
IS IT ALL FICTION?
Dear viewer, the REAL OMATICAYA are the last hunter-gatherers in the world. Among them, two groups stand out for their similarity to the fictional Na'vi cosmology: the Bushmen and the Pygmies.
The history of these groups is almost identical to that of the Avatar saga.
The last hunter-gatherers are threatened by the greed of the societies that surround them.
Hunter-gatherers are the only human beings who do not practice the domination of animals or people; they are the only truly "free" humans.
We have a historical responsibility to prevent their disappearance!
I hope Avatar is not merely anecdotal and serves to open our eyes.
I hope you like this video,
