native culture
Original people's ways
Native culture refers to the traditions, practices, beliefs, and ways of life of indigenous peoples—those who inhabited a region before colonization or settlement by outsiders.
The phrase often appears in discussions of preservation or revival: Programs to teach native culture to younger generations.
It can also describe cultural elements specific to any group's place of origin, though this usage is less common.
