Coming to large and small foreign cities, visiting other countries, we meet a lot of interesting and not very human.Many of them are proud to elevate themselves to the status of "Native" of the city N. In fact that their ancestors came to this village 50 years ago.

Let's see who has the right to call themselves a true radical settler, locals and natives.Just look around, literary sources and even the media are often rife with incorrect interpretation of these concepts.It should be noted that in different languages ​​and in different cultures, the interpretation and perception of the phrase "Native" can be equated in meaning to the word "aboriginal", while their closest synonym for "local" in virtually all countries has a very different, but everywhereexactly the same meaning.

very well the first two concepts interpreted, in the 168th Convention of the International Labour Organisation.This document stated that there are two explanations of the concept "Native".From the first, aboriginal tribes (nations) - a group of people who for generations lived in the territory of the country, but the cultural traditions and customs that are different from the cultural traditions of the rest of the population.The second category includes those people who lived in this area long before the arrival of the colonists.This is the "Native".

excellent example for this term are natives of America - the Indians.Long before the advent of the British in the territory of the New World were the tribes who were hunters and lived in teepees and smoked the pipe of peace.They wore enormous feather headdresses and loincloths.They had their own traditions and customs.When in America landed the first British, the Indians met them very friendly.They helped the masters from the Old World to survive during droughts and crop failures.Through participation in the life of the British this ethnic group there is such a holiday like Thanksgiving.

Currently, the Indian natives live mostly in an area within the country, which is called the reservation.The descendants of those first arrived in what is now the United States English are also indigenous people.People who daily come to America to find a better life and remain forever, gradually become locals.

Many people often ask challenging question "what is the name Native of a country or region."Of course, everything is easy and clear, with a population of Moscow, Belarus, Ukraine, the US, England and many others.But there are rare exceptions, where to apply the connection name and place of residence of its resident impossible.For example, a native of Sakhalin called Orok.His counterpart from Israel - sabra, and from Siberia - chaldon.A native of the country of yoga and the Ganges - India - called Indian (or a Hindu).But not an Indian.There are a lot of interesting names for different Aboriginal nations.

Currently border and timing of the term were erased, and the fifth generation living on the territory of a country, is proud to call themselves indigenous.
