Canada’s government always smugly claiming they have the moral high ground on everything, yet also claiming they don’t have the money for clean water on reserves with third-world conditions.
Interesting colour scheme choice
Costa Rica was a freaking tropical mountain, rain forest none important and far away land, either for the Spaniards and the natives, so almost nobody lived here until modern times.
That’s why we have pretty little indigenous people living here.
This is unsurprisingly also a map of remaining wilderness/most uninhabitable regions
Wouldn’t just straight population be more useful than % of population?
Uruguayans have more indigenous blood than they’d care to admit, especially in the interior.
Eskimo being indigenous is kinda weird since they replaced Dorset culture areas around the same time of European discoveries. There is more than 1000 km distance between their „homeland“ of Alaska and current Greenland and Northern Canada.
Uruguay is 2.4% indigenous and ~6% mestizo. Also, a lot of the people who identify as just white probably have some native ancestry too. I doubt there’s any region in South America that’s really <0.1% indigenous.
In Brazil it doesn’t mean that we are white, but that our main ancestry is European and African
Unsurprisingly the eastern seaboards are less indigenous
What is Uruguay doing?
There’s a reason why Brazil is so low: for you to be considered an indigenous person you need to be connected to an indigenous village. If you are only of indigenous descent but are not in an indigenous village, you will probably define yourself as „pardo“. Having indigenous ancestry does not make you an indigenous person if you are not connected to indigenous culture.
it’s crazy how in 2025 people still don’t know that latino and white are not mutually exclusive at all. There are more people outside of Europe with European ancestry than inside Europe.
I’m from Paraguay and this is definitely not correct
Are mestizos not considered partly indigenous for this map? Do you need to actively belong to a recognized tribe for it to count?
Otherwise, Texas, California, and parts of Mexico should be much darker with the latino populations there who are more indigenous than European.
Honestly surprised the Amazon rainforest regions aren’t a higher percentage indigenous
it’s interesting that paraguay has a relatively low percentage, but is also one of the few places in the americas where indigenous language use is higher than spanish use
What does “indigenous” mean here
Are there any in Dominican Republic? Map says no data and Haiti is „negligible“.
