indigenous villages
Aboriginal community homes
Indigenous villages are settlements established and inhabited by native peoples—communities with ancestral ties to a region predating colonization or outside settlement.
The term appears in discussions of land rights, cultural preservation, and development policy: The pipeline would run through several indigenous villages.
These communities often maintain traditional governance structures and practices distinct from surrounding populations.
