Word origin
The term 'original inhabitant' refers to individuals or groups of people who have lived in a specific place for an extended period, typically before the arrival of outsiders or colonizers.

The concept of original inhabitants is often discussed in the context of indigenous rights, historical land claims, and cultural preservation.
