I’m interested in different perspectives so I’d like to avoid USA, GB etc.

I'm not interested in the languages themselves. Just looking for different mindsets and temperaments. By different perspectives I don't mean different politics (although that would be a symptom) but maybe varied worldviews on life.

There's a TED talk by Lera Boroditsky on how different cultures see the world very differently based on their language. I would ideally like to hear from the people she is talking about, especially indigenous people, but in English. https://www.ted.com/dubbing/lera_boroditsky_how_language_shapes_the_way_we_think?audio=en&language=en
