So..you are saying indigenous people who have mixed with non indigenous people are no longer indigenous?
That is EXACTLY what we are saying. If you remove the qualities of indigeneity (the culture) then you are not part of the group of people who can claim indigeneity. Otherwise, being indigenous literally means nothing. Its just whatever mix of people who happen to live in a particular place.
Then are non practicing Jews still Jewish given that Jews who immigrated out of Israel in ancient times would certainly had to marry non indigenous people to survive as a people....a non practicing Jew is not practicing his culture, is he indigenous?
