Definition of indigenous People— the original inhabitants of a land who’s ancestors lived in a region before colonization migration state formation by outside groups.

Non-indigenous people are those who have migrated or settled on a land that was already inhabited often through colonization trade, enslaved or stolen people displacement, which is happening in current day

Although African Americans, Cuban, South American many are indigenous to Africa. The complexity is We the stolen people have become rooted the land we were brought to and have create culture and traditions and after generations, our urbanized society have many who have lost their identity to their indigenous heritage.

We must remember, reflect, continue to be resilient and reunite to our indigenous roots. It’s the truth … Celebrating Indigenous People Day to All 476 million Indigenous people , 5000 Tribes …according to United Nations & World Bank
