Indigenous means people here first. So they are indeed, indigenous.

It just means they stole it from somebody else.

Actual definition: "groups of people who lived in a place before colonization or other groups became dominant."

Given that dozens of waves of "natives" came over from Asia via the Bering Strait, with groups constantly dominating and genociding another before Europeans even arrived, who exactly now earns the term "indigenous"?
