With stunning photos and stories, National Geographic Explorer Wade Davis celebrates the extraordinary diversity of the world’s indigenous cultures, which are disappearing from the planet at an alarming rate, in this 2003 talk. This is many viewers’ favorite TEDTalk of all time — including a TED staffer or two. As one commenter says, “I was pinned to my seat by a tour de force of new ideas, brilliantly presented and illustrated in full color.” (Recorded February 2003 in Monterey, California. Duration: 22:13)
