When globohomo refers to Japan and Indigenous, they're usually referring to the Ainu in Hokkaido. And sometimes in anime, you'll see the rare dark-skinned native Okinawan/Ryukyu Island natives, which are supposed to count for DEI Indigenous points.

I'm not knowledgeable enough on this subject to comment beyond that. I will say that there's a lot more media featuring Ainu than there used to be. I strongly suspect that this is the direction the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima sequel is heading in.
