Locals are very proud of their history and culture. Travelers, who want to understand indigenous people better, are recommended to learn some rules of etiquette. First of all, never question or criticize the historical merits of local population. Any criticism can be the reason for a strong offense. History is one of the topics that are not recommended for a conversation. Another taboo subject for an open discussion is family and parenting. As a rule, all other themes are proper, and indigenous people will be glad to talk about them with new acquaintances.
