Yeah, I do understand where you're coming from. Science is only now reconciling with the fact that white man knew very little about land and interconnectedness. The stories citing environmental events do have some sort of spiritual advice but not to the effect of Christianity and the like. if you don't want to listen or prescribe a personal connection to indigenous stories they aren't going to tell you you're a horrible person or crucify non believers. There is a difference there, correct.

traditional ecological knowledge has been orally peer reviewed for thousands of years, and it is becoming more integrated into the scientific method. there is a lot of spirituality and moral teachings in the oral history. That doesn't make it less of a scientific approach. source: spending time in indigenous governed communities alongside government scientists

I understand the sentiment nowadays, particularly with coffins. But calling the mass enslavement and murder of black people a waste of space even though it's been there for nearly a century or more is odd. The industrial park is a better use of space?

Confused, are you saying domestic violence and statutory rape are just cultural norms? How could that possibly be blamed on anything other than colonialism...
