Indigenous peoples are the original peoples of a place and their descendants. They have lived in their homelands for thousands of years. These groups include many different nations, tribes, and communities. Each group has its own language, culture, and history.

Indigenous peoples are found around the world, including the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, the Arctic, Asia, and Africa. They live in a wide range of environments, from forests and deserts to cities and coastal regions. There is no single Indigenous culture.

Indigenous peoples continue to live in their traditional lands and communities today. Their cultures, languages, and traditions are diverse across regions. They are part of societies in many countries around the world.
