native community
Original inhabitants' settlement
A native community is a group of indigenous people who share ancestral ties to a specific geographic region, along with common cultural traditions, language, and social structures.
The term emphasizes collective identity and often refers to the physical settlement or reservation where such a group lives.
The native community has maintained its traditional fishing rights.
Native community appears frequently in discussions of land rights, cultural preservation, and government policy toward indigenous peoples.
