Most of my people group have been nomadic herders for centuries. They live in tents and eke out a living through their animals. The government has decided to settle many of them permanently in brick homes to "promote development". They feel the government is trying to destroy their way of life.
Is development and modernization more important than a way of life? Is there some way to make a compromise, a way that will make schools and clinics available... without forcing the people into brick villages after centuries of living and moving freely out on the plains? What do you think?
