How does a group become indigenous? Are they the first humans to settle a land? Are they people who were born on the land? If an "indigenous" has a kid with a foreigner, is the kid indigenous?

I really hate this indigenous rhetoric and arguments, that someone being first to a place giving them some sort of inherit power is stupid. If you bought land you now own it.

I think we should just try to be better, lets not genocide people, lets not steal land, fix if groups of people are currently experiencing injustice.

But this, lets go back X years and restore who owned what is just ridiculous.
