The term indigenous peoples can be used to describe any ethnic group of people who inhabit a geographic region with which they have the earliest known historical connection, alongside more recent immigrants who have populated the region and may be greater in number. However, several widely accepted formulations, which define the term indigenous peoples in stricter terms, have been put forward by prominent and internationally recognized organizations, such as the United Nations, the International Labour Organization and the World Bank. Indigenous peoples in this article is used in such a narrower sense.

Other related terms for indigenous peoples include aborigines (æbəˈrɪdʒɪni (help·info)), aboriginal people, native people, first people, first nations, Amerigine, and autochthonous (this last term is derived from Greek, meaning "sprung from the earth"). Indigenous peoples may often be used in preference to these or other terms as a neutral replacement, where such terms may have taken on negative or pejorative connotations by their prior association and use. It is the preferred term in use by the United Nations and its subsidiary organizations.

VISION Statement & PURPOSE:

Source is the new, universal meme for any of the thousand names of God. Source is...I am... (Photo: Galaxy Eye)

"If you don't find God in the next person you meet, it's a waste of time looking for him further." - Gandhi

Spiritual growth and conscious evolution is best gained through direct experience, by connecting directly to Source within one's deepest sense of self and fostering loving relations with all beings.  Love is...I am...

"When we open our eyes to what is happening, even when it breaks our hearts, we discover our true size; for our heart, when it breaks open, can hold the whole universe. We discover how speaking the truth of our anguish for the world brings down the walls between us, drawing us into deep solidarity." - Joanna Macy

Indigenous people, tribes and traditional ways of being connected to the earth and sky are the roots of all honoring relations and the great-grandmother of all religion.

"The ways of your ancestors are good. They cannot be blown away by the winds, because their roots reach deep into the soil." – Okot P'Bitek

Religion is any one of dozens of organized systems of belief about God from many traditions over the last 10,000 years. The best kept secret of all time is, when you look into the eyes of another, "There's only one of us!" (Image: Compunct)

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." - Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC)
