      Or that many groups have indigenous claims to the area.

      For example, pacific islanders didnt’ get to many islands till the 900-1100 time period. We’d still call them indigenous peoples of those places.

      More than one thing can be true at the same time.

      Indigenous people having rights is a rather modern concept in terms of human history.
