i never knew that this tribe existed before i read this story, but it is definitely sad indeed, when humans start going extinct, the tribe was 65,000 years old, humans, their desire to expand, to grow, to have even pushed their own kind to extinction, its a sad tale, wee need to work hard to be careful what we do, every decision we make has an adverse affect on something, and also with her passing a language has become extinct as well, across the whole world there are other tribes close to extinction, lets hope, their way of life can be protected.

They didnt really seem to care while they were busy downing alcohol, so why should anyone else?

well obviously neither does half the world, because i bet if a pool was taken about 50% of the world would have alcoholism

No reason to worry about this, or worry about "saving" a language.

Humans are animals, and as such, we are prone to extinction.

It's okay, you never know who will get the last laugh- technology and future generations cannot hide from the ghosts of the indigenous past.

If their way of life is worth the salt, that only they and mother Earth will know, then the effects will pay off if reincarnation be real.
