Dr. Torivio A. Fodder

They are Indigenous because their ancestral roots are embedded in the lands on
which they live, or would like to live, much more deeply than the roots of the more
powerful sectors of society living on the same lands or in close proximity. And
they are peoples in that they comprise distinct communities within a continuity of
existence and identity that links them to the communities, tribes, or nations of
their ancestral past. '
