Depends what field of study you’re taking your terminology from. Organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank will certainly stick to a more refined definition, much less simple definition, part of which is relating to how a particular people relates to the government of the land they inhabit. Mudokons are native in the ecological sense, but the apparent lack of recognition Mudos has for free-living Muds’ social and spiritual cultures makes them also native in a more ideological sense. Glukkons may be similarly indigenous to Mudos, but they are clearly recognized as an industrial family by whatever government regulates Mudos, so they are not elligable for the same description.
