Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many indigenous cultures that have lived in close connection with their natural environments for centuries often do not have a word that directly translates to "wilderness" in the way it is understood in English. This is because they see themselves as part of the natural world rather than separate from it, and thus do not conceptualize their environment as "wild" or "untamed" in the same way that modern, industrialized societies might.
