What is it about?
While popular images tend to depict indigenous people as having lived a "simple" and unspoiled lifestyle before they became threatened by the "evils" of modernity and (neo)colonial exploitation, there is evidence for the argument that, in many parts of the world, indigenous people were neither "locally locked" in the deep forest or remote hills, nor socioculturally "isolated," dissociated from others and the outside world. In this article, the authors demonstrate how much more nuanced a view of the concept of indigeneity should be taken today in order to more adequately assess traditional and recent discussions of the topic.
