What is the relationship between language and culture in Indigenous communities?

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis dictates that language and culture influence one another. In a group of people whose language has no word for "yellow", they may as a culture consider yellow and orange objects to be the same color (whereas in English we have different words for these colors and would see the objects as being completely different colors). For a society that uses a language in which the word for "beautiful" is the same as the word for "clean", it may be difficult or impossible for the people in that society to accept that something dirty could be beautiful, and they may equate cleanliness with beauty. Similarly, a society's culture will influence their language. If a group lives in a cold area with heavy, constant snowfall, they may have many different, specific words for snow, whereas a group living in a warm climate may only have one.
