The indigenous people of Africa are groups of people native to a specific region; people who lived there before colonists or settlers arrived, defined new borders, and began to occupy the land. This definition applies to all indigenous groups, whether inside or outside of Africa. Although the vast majority of Native Africans can be considered to be "indigenous" in the sense that they originated from that continent and nowhere else (like all Homo sapiens sapiens), identity as an "indigenous people" is in modern application more restrictive. Not every African ethnic group claims identification under these terms. Groups and communities who do claim this recognition are those who by a variety of historical and environmental circumstances have been placed outside of the dominant state systems.

  • Die Unterscheidung zwischen indigenen Völkern Afrikas und der übrigen, nicht indigenen Bevölkerung ist in Afrika eine vergleichsweise neue Kategorisierung, da noch bis vor wenigen Jahrzehnten fast die gesamte Bevölkerung europäischer Kolonialherrschaft unterworfen war (mit Ausnahme Äthiopiens und Liberias). Dennoch existieren auch in afrikanischen Staaten ethnische Gruppen, die sich kulturell, wirtschaftlich und sozial erheblich von der Mehrheitsbevölkerung unterscheiden und oftmals einer fortdauernden Diskriminierung ausgesetzt sind. Die Lebens- und Wirtschaftsweisen dieser Gruppen sind durch Jagen und Sammeln, Nomadismus oder Transhumanz bzw. mobile Tierhaltung geprägt. Eine besonders klare Unterscheidung zwischen indigener und nicht-indigener Bevölkerung existiert im südlichen Afrika. Hier gelten v. a. die San (Buschleute) und die Khoi Khoi als indigen, deren Siedlungsgeschichte bis zu 20.000 Jahre umfassen soll, während die Mehrheit der schwarzen Bevölkerung den später zugewanderten bantusprachigen Ethnien (u. a. Xhosa, Tsonga und Zulu) angehört und damit nicht als indigen gilt. (de)

Not every African ethnic group claims identification under these terms. Groups and communities who do claim this recognition are those who by a variety of historical and environmental circumstances have been placed outside of the dominant state systems. Their traditional practices and land claims often have come into conflict with the objectives and policies promulgated by governments, companies and surrounding dominant societies. Marginalization, along with the desire to recognize and protect their collective and human rights, and to maintain the continuity of their individual cultures, has led many to seek identification as indigenous peoples, in the contemporary global sense of the term.
