Some indigenous cultures never invented writing and are hunter gathers. They don't have time to engage in any sort of philosophy. There's no basis for them to even describe these ideas.
It's not better. It's not different. It's underdeveloped.
Europe's culture has developed from Christian Roman culture after the Roman Empire conquered most of the continent. The indiginous cultures and religions of mainland Europe were destroyed by the Romans and the Roman-influenced kingdoms springing up after Romes demise.
The culture resulting from that was exported to Britain with the Norman conquest, and that new British culture was exported to the US and other "Western" nations through colonialism.
The indiginous "western" culture doesn't exist anymore.
Don't spread bad history. You have no idea what you're talking about.
