List of Indigenous peoples

October 24, 2023

These paragraphs are an excerpt from Indigenous peoples.[edit]

Indigenous peoples[a] are the earliest known inhabitants of an area and their descendants, especially one that has been colonized by a now-dominant group of settlers. However, the term lacks a single, authoritative definition[1] and can be used to describe a variety of peoples and cultures.[2][3] In its modern context, the term Indigenous was first used by Europeans, who used it to differentiate the Indigenous peoples of the Americas from the European settlers of the Americas, as well as from the sub-Saharan Africans the settlers enslaved and brought to the Americas by force. The term may have first been used in this context by Sir Thomas Browne in 1646, who stated "and although in many parts thereof there be at present swarms of Negroes serving under the Spaniard, yet were they all transported from Africa, since the discovery of Columbus; and are not indigenous or proper natives of America."[4][5]

Peoples are usually described as "Indigenous" when they maintain traditions or other aspects of an early culture that is associated with the first inhabitants of a given region.[6] Not all Indigenous peoples share this characteristic, as many have adopted substantial elements of a colonizing culture, such as dress, religion or language. Indigenous peoples may be settled in a given region (sedentary), exhibit a nomadic lifestyle across a large territory, or be resettled, but they are generally historically associated with a specific territory on which they depend. Indigenous societies are found in every inhabited climate zone and continent of the world except Antarctica.[7] There are approximately five thousand Indigenous nations throughout the world.[8]

Indigenous peoples' homelands have historically been colonized by larger ethnic groups, who justified colonization with beliefs of racial and religious superiority, land use or economic opportunity.[9] Thousands of Indigenous nations throughout the world currently live in countries where they are not a majority ethnic group.[10] Indigenous peoples continue to face threats to their sovereignty, economic well-being, languages, ways of knowing, and access to the resources on which their cultures depend. Indigenous rights have been set forth in international law by the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, and the World Bank.[11] In 2007, the UN issued a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) to guide member-state national policies to the collective rights of Indigenous peoples, including their rights to protect their cultures, identities, languages, ceremonies, and access to employment, health, education and natural resources.[12]

Estimates of the total global population of Indigenous peoples usually range from 250 million to 600 million.[13] Official designations and terminology of who is considered Indigenous vary between countries, ethnic groups and other factors.[2] In the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, Indigenous status is often applied unproblematically to groups descended from the peoples who lived there prior to European settlement. However, In Asia and Africa, definitions of Indigenous status have been either rejected by certain peoples,[14] or applied to minorities and or oppressed peoples, who may not be considered "Indigenous" in other contexts.[15] Thus, population figures are less clear and may fluctuate dramatically.[2] The concept of indigenous peoples is rarely used in Europe, where very few indigenous groups are recognized, with the exception of groups such as the Sámi.[16]

Definition Edit

Main article: Indigenous peoples § Definitions

Indigenous communities, peoples, and nations are those which have a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, and may consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing on those territories, or parts of them. They form at present non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal system.[17]

This historical continuity may consist of the continuation, for an extended period reaching into the present of one or more of the following factors:

  • Occupation of ancestral lands, or at least of part of them
  • Common ancestry with the original occupants of these lands
  • Culture in general, or in specific manifestations (such as religion, living under a tribal system, membership in an Indigenous community, dress, means of livelihood, lifestyle, etc.)
  • Language (whether used as the only language, as mother-tongue, as the habitual means of communication at home or in the family, or as the main, preferred, habitual, general or normal language)
  • Residence in certain parts of the country, or in certain regions of the world
  • Other relevant factors.
  • On an individual basis, an Indigenous person is one who belongs to these Indigenous populations through self-identification as Indigenous (group consciousness) and is recognized and accepted by these populations as one of its members (acceptance by the group). This preserves for these communities the sovereign right and power to decide who belongs to them, without external interference.[18]

  • There are competing claims that Palestinian Arabs and Jews are indigenous to historic Palestine/the Land of Israel.[84][85][86] The argument entered the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in the 1990s, with Palestinians claiming Indigenous status as a pre-existing population displaced by Jewish settlement, and currently constituting a minority in the State of Israel.[87] Israeli Jews have in turn claimed indigeneity based on historic ties to the region and disputed the authenticity of Palestinian claims.[88][89] In 2007, the Negev Bedouin were officially recognized as Indigenous peoples of Israel by the United Nations.[90] This has been criticized both by scholars associated with the Israeli state, who dispute the Bedouin's claim to indigeneity,[91] and those who argue that recognising just one group of Palestinians as Indigenous risks undermining others' claims and "fetishising" nomadic cultures.[92]

Some sources describe the Sámi as the only recognized indigenous peoples in Europe,[100][101][102] with others describing them as the only indigenous people in the European Union.[103][104][105][106] Other groups, particularly in Central, Western and Southern Europe, that might be considered to fit the description of indigenous peoples in the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989, such as the Sorbs, are generally categorized as national minorities instead.[107]

not a result of compulsory dislocation 78 Following the Roman Siege of Jerusalem destruction of Herod s Temple and failed Jewish revolts some Jews were either expelled taken as slaves to Rome or massacred 79 while other Jews continued to live in the region over the centuries despite the conversion of many Jews to Christianity and Islam as well as persecution by the various conquerors of the region including the Romans Arabs Ottomans and the British Additionally a substantial number of diaspora Jews immigrated to Palestine during the 19th and 20th centuries mainly under the Zionist movement as well as after the modern State of Israel was established in 1948 This was coupled with the revival of Hebrew the only Canaanite language still spoken today DNA studies show that many major diaspora Jewish communities derive a substantial portion of their ancestry from ancient Israelites 80 81 82 83 There are competing claims that Palestinian Arabs and Jews are indigenous to historic Palestine the Land of Israel 84 85 86 The argument entered the Israeli Palestinian conflict in the 1990s with Palestinians claiming Indigenous status as a pre existing population displaced by Jewish settlement and currently constituting a minority in the State of Israel 87 Israeli Jews have in turn claimed indigeneity based on historic ties to the region and disputed the authenticity of Palestinian claims 88 89 In 2007 the Negev Bedouin were officially recognized as Indigenous peoples of Israel by the United Nations 90 This has been criticized both by scholars associated with the
