Indigenous

Indigenous people are the original people of the land. Called "Native American" in the States, and Indigenous across the Americas, the First Nations arrived around 30,000 years ago.

The first Indigenous "civilization" was founded in what is now Central Mexico around 12,000 BCE.

The first Iroquoian people arrived in the Adirondacks between 1,200 and 4,000 years ago. The Lenape of Manahatta came from those people.
