In any case, respect for the land, animals, and simply being content with what they had, at least that part is true.

You must be studying from the new curriculum. The one that excludes the part about native americans committing genocide on other tribes.. owning slaves.. cannibalism.
You bring up a lot of good points, but the majority of that is overly romanticized malarky.
so the OP is partially correct they did know more than we know....lets face it at the very least had we not destroyed their way of life they would and the world around them would still be thriving
more to the point if we lived our lives to those commandments the world would be a better place
Well I don't know. the Inuit population in Northern Canada is nearly untouched in many instances by modernization. There is a lot of incest, violence on women, and familial violence. (they like killing each other).

in all fairness since the western world has industrialized the planet we have destroyed many eco-systems and have swayed the balance of nature.....the indigenous peoples of the earth have thrived for millions of years till we came along with a "better way"...we idol money above everything...these people lived for the balance of nature.
Nothing we can do now but move forward. One day when we figure out fusion, we can start fixing the messes we made. Simply as that.
