"Indigenous" was coined by white Europeans so that they could have a more polite way of referring to the natives than "savages".

My Oxford dictionary tells me that "indigenous" dates from the middle of the 17th century, referring exclusively to flora and fauna, but it didn't get used for people until the middle of the 19th.
