Romanticisation of Indigenous/tribal cultures with regards to animal treatment is one of the biggest problems among the non-vegan left, who accuse vegans (particularly white vegans) of "racism" and other malintent simply for opposing the exploitation of animals EVERYWHERE.
The truth is that such Indigenous/tribal culture worldwide is rife with barbaric animal sacrifice, blood rituals, and particularly slow and torturous deaths of animals for backward traditions.
No, the way animals are treated by "Native tribespeople" is not "better" than evil, large-scale factory farming.
Speciesism is a global poison that needs to be eradicated regardless of culture.
