Morphology
indigenist = indigenous (transparent) = indigen + ist
The suffix '-ist' clearly indicates a relation to supporting or promoting Indigenous peoples.
Etymology
Indigenist comes from the word indigenous, which means 'native' or 'born in a place', plus the ending -ist (as in activist) that shows 'one who supports' or focuses on something. So an indigenist description or policy is one that supports and promotes the cultures, rights, or voices of Indigenous peoples.
