Reply to comment by manic7impressive_ in If the Sami are considered the only indigenous group left in the European Union, what are the Karelians? by Theworldsfuckedm8

What does a country being in the EU have to do with indigineity? Just because they left doesn't mean they're not a European nation, part of European culture, etc. Just the unique British Isles subsets. Celtic peoples certainly didn't care if their compatriots lived in mainland Europe or not. It does imapcr EU stats, but that's not the only way to define Europe and European.

Nothing, but the question is about indigenous groups within the EU so anything about indigenous groups outside the EU is off topic.

The fact that the question is specific to EU nations. It’s part of the question, in direct reference, my dude
