Indigenous peoples - Common characteristics: Encyclopedia II - Indigenous peoples - Definitions
An indigene is literally someone or something that is native to or originating from a given place.

In this broad sense almost any person or group is indigenous to some location or other. As a contemporary cultural description, however, the term indigenous peoples has a much narrower common meaning. The more restrictive criteria as outlined need to be satisfied in order to identify an indig ...
