indigenous people

descendants of the earliest inhabitants of a territory, who are now subjugated by another, dominant culture.

Note 1

Indigenous peoples are non-dominant groups in a particular (non-state) area, and they are the descendants of the original inhabitants of that area. They identify themselves as indigenous and are regarded as such by others. They have distinct social, political and cultural identities, and languages that are distinct from those of the dominant group in the country they live in. Besides this, they have a special relationship with the land and natural resources, which is fundamental to their cultural identity and therefore their survival as distinct peoples. They are generally not industrialized, but tend to focus on self-sufficiency. They are often marginalized by the dominant society.
