[quote=Anonymous]ah- indigenous here means the original inhabitants.

most people who claim they are 'native' to a place are just prehistoric settlers, people have been fightig over land resources for a long time.  Also the 'whitest' white people- wouldnt be considered white culturally in the USA where the spectrum is Anglo-saxon..germanic..nordic..Eastern European.. southern europe.. greek/spanish.  the indiginenous people of europe or any place are the ones who have occupied the land first and stayed put in that area oinstead of venturing out and they have remaioned culturally pure as well.  i'll give you an example of the French- thay are "Gauls" or Celts back in roman times but then they got conquered by the Romans, didnt. make much impression but then the germanic tribe called the Franks (hence French!) conquered them and completely changed everything and really mixed with the Celts, then there were the invaders from the North, the Normans who governd and raped both the Brits and the northern French from tehir southern land (scottish highlands) so the celts who were teh origianl people got diluted both ravially and culturally by noryhman and germans.  Same with spain- the visgothic hordes completely mixed and colonized the original people of the land who were cetic in racial and cultural development and had adopted a Romance language.  Inigineous people are popel who retain tehir language, culture and racial pehenotype through waves of new comers in their territory and were in that territory first. In that way many Indian Americaan groups are not actually indigenous to the land that they were forced from by the US government and teh competing claims on territory helped the US to clear the land b/c the indiegous peopel were already fighting other tribes plus the US government for sovereignty. (the apache/comanche in texas are a good example of this) [/quote]
