Reply to comment by theosphicaltheo in If the Sami are considered the only indigenous group left in the European Union, what are the Karelians? by Theworldsfuckedm8
Ireland is still part of the EU, but the UK left the EU almost three years ago. So the Scots, Welsh, some Irish (Northern Ireland), Cornish, and even the English today, who are still genetic Brits at least predating Roman arrival, much more than they are Germanic, do not count as a default

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
