ethnic homeland

People's native land

An ethnic homeland is a territory associated with a particular ethnic group, often viewed as their ancestral or rightful land.

The term appears in discussions of nationalism, self-determination, and territorial claims: They sought to establish an ethnic homeland for their people.

It can describe existing states, historical territories, or aspirational ones—sometimes controversially, when competing groups claim the same land.
