What does indigenous mean?

How would you feel?

Stop and think: how important is your way of life?

Imagine how you would feel if you welcomed strangers into your home and they never left. In fact, what would it be like if they took control of your house and made you relocate far away? What if they abused you physically, sexually and financially, and spread disease throughout your community?
