The differences of physical and biological factors in the world ecosystem affected a diverse bio-ethnical and human culture. The diversity of indigenous people and culture was a highly valuable heritage, which was created by our nature. The management of various tribal people by some human under the nation-state paradigm in the last decades resulted in the loss of cultural diversity and ethnic groups. This article discusses the evolution of state and talks about the situation of indigenous people under the nation-state. Also, this paper suggests an alternative way for maintaining the diversity of ethnic groups, cultures and for reducing conflict among ethnic groups within a new paradigm “the cultural state-cultural sphere” based on the rights of equality of human rights.
