Who are indigenous peoples and where do they live
around the world? What is the difference between
indigenous peoples, tribal peoples, and minorities?
Why are the United Nations and the World Bank
interested in these definitions? Lotte Hughes
provides a broad overview, with many representative
examples from different cultures, quoting
indigenous people directly where possible. Examples
include the Barabaig of Tanzania; the Yanomami of
Brazil; the Ogiek of Kenya; the Kurds of Turkey,
Iraq, Iran, and Syria; the Karamojong of Uganda;
peoples in Canada, Brazil, Chile, S.E. Asia, and
many others.
Lotte
Hughes is a journalist and historian who has worked
in many indigenous communities, especially in
Africa.
