what do we call ethnically distinct groups of foragers, horticulturalists, and pastoralists who occupy their historic homelands and who are politically subordinate to larger national governments?

Respuesta :

Indigenous peoples are culturally distinct ethnic groups that, to some extent, still speak the same language and practice similar cultural practices as the area's original occupants.

Members of these ethnic groups are directly descended from the area's first known residents.  The term "Indigenous" was originally employed in its current sense by Europeans, who did so to distinguish between the Native Americans and the European immigrants in the Americas as well as between the Africans who were brought to the continent as slaves. According to Sir Thomas Browne, who wrote in 1646 that "and although in various portions thereof there is at ethnic swarms of Negroes serving under the Spaniard, yet were they all carried from Africa," the phrase may have first been used in this context. People are typically referred to as "Indigenous" when they uphold customs or other elements of an early civilization that are linked to the original occupants of a particular location.  This trait is not shared by all Indigenous peoples as many have incorporated significant aspects of conquering cultures into their ethnic, religion, or language. Indigenous peoples may have made a home in a particular area.
