Wealthy westerners seek a short cut to enlightenment, flocking to retreats that make a mockery of the complex spirituality being culturally appropriated. Increasing reports of disappearances and deaths emerge. No mention of the loss of life, from disease, the distancing of a people with their identity and the damage to the delicate balance within the region that is to the Earth, what a heart is to a human.
Profiteers allege that it affords the tribes luxuries. Perhaps like giving a starving child a Fabergé egg.
Eco tourism of this kind must end.
