The ones who are descended from the people who wiped out the New World megafauna? Noble savage myths are not going to help you get your point across.

The Hopi people were/are not "noble savages." They felt compelled to warn world leaders of impending disaster. They brought their message to the U.N. in 1992. The warnings have been almost entirely unheeded, to everyone's detriment.

Pointing out that they maybe have experience with this (however you want to phrase it) does sort of lend the guidance some credence no?

Parent is strawmaning. Discrediting someone base on what their ancestors did 70000 years ago is crazy.
