Indigenous peoples are sometimes referred to as aborigines, native peoples, first peoples, first nations or as autochthonous, a Greek term that means "sprung from the earth".
Greek authors of the classical period referred to the indigenous people of Greece, who had lived there since before any of the waves of Hellenic migration, as "Pelasgians." In antiquity, the Greek term for all non-Greek speaking peoples was "barbarians".
They were said to have descended from their mountain home near Reate (an ancient Sabine town) upon Latium, whence they expelled the Sicels and subsequently settled down as Latini under a King Latinus.
