USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Indigenous and tribal peoples are often known by national terms such as native peoples, aboriginal peoples, first nations, adivasi, janajati, hunter-gatherers, or hill tribes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Indigenous Peoples are distinct social and cultural groups that share collective ancestral ties to the lands and natural resources where they live, occupy or from which they have been displaced.

Detailed explanation-3: -The word ‘indigenous’ refers to the notion of a place-based human ethnic culture that has not migrated from its homeland, and is not a settler or colonial population. To be indigenous is therefore by definition different from being of a world culture, such as the Western or Euro-American culture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Indigenous or Aboriginal peoples are so-called because they were living on their lands before settlers came from elsewhere; they are the descendants-according to one definition-of those who inhabited a country or a geographical region at the time when people of different cultures or ethnic origins arrived.

Detailed explanation-5: -The earliest populations in the Americas, before roughly 10, 000 years ago, are known as Paleo-Indians.
