indigenous group

any ethnic group originating and remaining in an area subject to colonization. North American Indians, Aboriginals and Maoris are all examples of ethnic groups who inhabited lands before colonial expansion (in North America, Australia and New Zealand respectively) and who have retained their distinctive identities. Such groups often appear to go through a sequence of defeat, despair and regeneration, if they have not been exterminated or their culture completely destroyed by the colonial power. The concept of ‘indigenous group’ is used by the United Nations to obtain lost rights for such groups. A similar term is ‘native peoples’. See also MULTI-CULTURALISM.
