Local Indigenous groups are communities of people who have historical ties to a specific region and maintain their unique cultural practices, languages, and traditions. These groups often have a deep connection to the land, which influences their way of life, including their social structures, spiritual beliefs, and economic activities. Many local Indigenous groups engage in efforts to preserve their heritage and advocate for their rights. They may work to protect their ancestral lands, promote their languages, and share their cultural knowledge with others. Examples of such groups include the Navajo Nation in the United States and the Maori in New Zealand.
