Who are Indigenous peoples?
– It is estimated that there are more than 370 million Indigenous people spread across 70 countries worldwide. Practicing unique traditions, they retain social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Spread across the world from the Arctic to the South Pacific, they are the descendants – according to a common definition – of those who inhabited a country or a geographical region at the time when people of different cultures or ethnic origins arrived. The new arrivals later became dominant through conquest, occupation, settlement or other means
Among the Indigenous peoples are those of the Americas (for example, the Lakota in the USA, theMaya in Mexico and Central America or the Aymaras in Bolivia), the Inuit and Aleutians of the circumpolar region, the Sámi of northern Europe, the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and the Maori of Aotearoa New Zealand. These and most other Indigenous peoples have retained distinct characteristics which are clearly different from those of other segments of the national populations.
Stray Notes
- Each group of Indigenous people are unique, some following similar beliefs and values, but holding different history and different spiritual perspectives
