Extract
The main aim of this paper (see Author's note) is to demonstrate that definitions of which groups of people constitute indigenous minorities are subject to change—changes which are often due not so much to our increasing scientific or academic knowledge about particular groups of people, but to political factors. A secondary aim is to document two cases which have so far found little or no mention in the literature, one drawn from Zimbabwe and the other from Australia.
