At present, there is no accepted definition of indigenous people in the world. Generally speaking, it is generally chosen according to its traditional geographical location, special social structure, unique culture and long history that existed before the birth of modern civilization. According to United Nations statistics, there are still 300-500 million indigenous people in six continents except Antarctica, covering more than 70 countries and regions, and there are more than 5,000 indigenous tribes with different cultures and languages. For example, we are familiar with African Indians, hard-working Inuit, Maori in Oceania and so on.

? Most indigenous people still retain their traditional way of life, relying on hunting and gathering for a living, without modern civilization, backward medical care and education, and incompatible with modern society. However, the growing development of the outside world has also affected their original lives. Many indigenous people have been constantly fighting against modern society and the state in order to stay in their ancestral land and keep their traditional way of life, but indigenous people are still dying out. For example, since 1990, more than 270 indigenous tribes living in the Amazon region have disappeared, and 70 have disappeared. Therefore, international social organizations began to call for the protection of indigenous cultures and traditions and guarantee their equal right to exist.

? For a long time, indigenous people have been living with nature and relying on instinct. Therefore, they have a highly sensitive sense of smell, vision and judgment, and can make some correct judgments according to the surrounding plants, trees and traces, which is why they can survive in the natural environment for a long time without relying on modern technology. Different indigenous tribes also have different characteristics and lifestyles: for example, the Mani people in Bachino are good at fishing and hunting, and are good at using bows and arrows. After catching large wild animals, they will light bonfires at night to congratulate the whole village. Dayak people in Malaysia like to build their own bamboo houses to live in, and the roof is covered with straw. The staple food is rice, with bacon and fish with pickled vegetables, and you can eat it with your hands.

Indigenous people have their own culture, language and traditions, and different indigenous people have different ways of life and communication. If you have the opportunity to go to an indigenous tribe in the future, you need to know the cultural traditions of this tribe in advance.
