मूल निवासी समुदायों के दर्शन

“Indigenous” is the umbrella term used internationally by peoples who count themselves among the original inhabitants of lands later colonised; the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) uses it without defining it and affirms the right of Indigenous peoples to determine their own identity (Art. 33). The word covers very different peoples, and many prefer their own names or regional terms (Māori, Yankton Dakota, First Nations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; in the USA also “American Indian” or “Native American”); where possible, the map names the particular people. In the Pacific it is also used for the peoples of Oceania as a whole, including those of independent island states such as Tonga – which is why the Tongan Epeli Hauʻofa appears here. “Indians” goes back to Columbus’s error, yet “Indian” and “American Indian” are in part also self-designations, used deliberately and in their own sense by Charles Eastman, Vine Deloria Jr., Gerald Vizenor (who writes “indian” in lower case to mark the colonial image) and Fausto Reinaga (“indio”). “Philosophy” is itself a European category that not every community applies to its knowledge; the map mostly shows what was published in writing, often in colonial languages and at universities. Many traditions were passed down orally – a gap in the record, not in the thinking (for example Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, the knowledge handed down among the Inuit).
