The philosophical basis of giving a fuck about "indigenous people" is the ethno-nationalist philosophy which arose in 19th century Yurop, which declared that every distinct indigenous people of Yurop deserved to have their own nation. This is why Poland was resurrected from the ash-heap of history after WWII, this is why Balkanization occurred, this is why Italy and Germany became nations, this is why Hitler felt justified in Anschlussing all ethnic Germans, it's why Israel exists, and it is also why the original anti-colonialist movements of the 19th and 20th century were nationalist, including all the Nasserite "third positionists" of the Cold War. There is absolutely no way to divorce the philosophical notion that indigenous people deserve their own nations from the belief that every ethnicity deserves its own nation.
Because as soon as you do, as soon as the requirements for deserving your own nation are increased from simply being an indigenous ethnicity (such as Ruthenians, Croats, or Welsh) to requiring some kind of historical grievance to justify deserving your own nation, the entire ideology falls apart. Then you start just making shit up to believe whatever you want because you've severed yourself from any objective, universalizeable principle and into just bitching that it's not fair that some people throughout history get conquered. That's what history is and nobody with an IQ above room temp has time to listen to you scream into the void about how unjust human nature is.
