What does it mean to be indigenous?

Every place has its own first people. Some of these people traveled to settle that place. Each group has an individual culture and historical past.  On a journey through Paraguay we will ask questions that will take us to environmentally sensitive areas, socially sensitive areas, also areas where issues of cultural and historical preservation are volatile and complex.
