Indigenous Peoples of Europe refer to the original inhabitants of the continent, including groups such as the Sámi in the north, the Basques in Spain and France, and the Saami in Scandinavia. These communities have distinct languages, cultures, and traditions that have been passed down through generations, often closely tied to their ancestral lands. Many Indigenous Peoples in Europe face challenges related to cultural preservation and land rights due to historical colonization and modern development. Efforts are ongoing to recognize their rights and promote their cultural heritage, ensuring that their unique identities are maintained in the face of globalization.
