Main article: indigenous peoples

This is a selected list of the world's indigenous peoples. For guidelines on what should be included or excluded in this listing, see this article's Talk page.

Note that this is a listing of peoples, groups and communities. It is not a list of individual persons who may be considered or recognised as indigenous.

This list is grouped by region, and sub-region. Note that a particular group may warrant listing under more than one region, either because the group is distributed in more than one region (example: Inuit in North America and eastern Russia), or there may be some overlap of the regions themselves (that is, the boundaries of each region are not always clear and some locations may commonly be associated with more than one region).
