Native americans

I think that the Native Americans were a very important and influential part of our society today.  They achieved what people today can only think of achieving.  They were one with nature and cared very much for everything around them.  The Native Americans made sure to never take to much from the environment, so that it would stay health and not become unbalanced.  I think that America being the huge consumer country that it is today should look back and what the Native Americans did and try to imitate them.  I know that it is impossible for us to create a stable system where we will never use more that we need and do not unbalance the environment, but they're steps we can take to make our resources last longer and become more efficient.
