I bring up early humans because it's a situation which is closest to indigenous communities, at least to my knowledge.
I'm not entirely sure where you got an implication that indigenous groups don't exist. I guess it was the use of the past tense. I use that now because there are very few tribes that are still isolated from the modern world (and I doubt any of those are in the arctic). So cultures, technologies and so on have all shifted in indigenous communities, whether by choice or force.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
