Indigenous people are native to the land where they live. In other terms their ancestors have always lived in the specific location where they continue to live. However ethnic groups are groups of people who refer to where there ancestors' lived. However, they may live somewhere else or there ancestors have lived in more than one location, which separates them from being indigenous.
