Abstract
The paper highlights the problem of academic engagement with the idea of indigenous or indigeneity, which stands problematic as anthropological categories, both for anthropology at a theoretical level and for the engagement of the discipline with those of the subjects who make that claim, in the light of anthropology particularly in southern Africa. It is argued using both empirical evidences and theoretical insights that both the notion of culture and idea of indigeneity share certain peculiar attributes, similar in essence, especially as a means of referencing identities of those people who present themselves different from some wider society, and in this sense, anthropological enquiry would be meaningful in the domain of such common traits. Precisely, in this paper, an effort is made of searching for a perspective approach to anthropological engagement with indigeneity.
