Who are Indigenous people?
“Indigenous peoples are any ethnic group who inhabit a geographic region with which that have the earliest known historical connection…
“[The term] ‘Indigenous peoples’ may often be used in preference to… other terms as a neutral replacement, where such terms may have taken negative or pejorative connotations…”
Wikipedia, 2010.

The international context
• Evidence supports the idea that these experiences contribute to:
– Alienation from mainstream, “western” structures and institutions
– Cultural dislocation and language loss
– Low socio-economic status
– Poor educational attainment
