"Indigenous" refers to anyone in the process of losing at natural selection. It neither refers to those winning (e.g. Han Chinese) or those who have already lost (e.g. the Dorset). It fits the leftist mantra of blind support for the "oppressed" and their need for self-worth derived from slacktivism (they get more dopamine from "supporting" people alive today than people who died hundreds of years ago).
I was going to type something long about the French, but I am wondering if I haven't gone too far trying to apply logic to leftism. As you noted, it's all about the feels. That said, I still think that a main driver of leftist "feels" for a particular group is sympathy directed at, in particular, nonwhites. When it comes to competing nonwhite groups, the more primitive the group is, the more sympathetic a leftist will be. For instance, the San may occupy a higher place on the victimhood totem pole than the Bantu, as their lifestyle is more primitive. Leftists also support Amerinds in South America who practice traditional lifestyles over farmers/ranchers who are only slightly whiter but who employ more modern technology. And they would support the farmers/ranchers over the white or whiter Mestizo ruling class of their country. Being primitive correlates neatly with losing, so leftists can enjoy supporting the losers.
