    Introduction The term indigenous has caused controversy across the world as some people see it an offensive name to describe people‚ the name is not the only thing that has caused a controversy also the people that this name applies to. Hence there have been many definitions of this word to try and make it more euphemism. Kuper (2003) agrees that this term causes a lot of debate.
