<span class="em">10. Indigenous Background</span>
<br />This question applies to all dwelling occupants and it aims to recognize how many of them are considered indigenous.</p>
<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Always ask this question even when you consider that there are not indigenous people in your work area. If the answer is "yes", circle code 1; however, if they say: "maybe my father is indigenous, but not my mother", "I would say a little" or something similar, circle option 2 "yes, in part". When the informant does not know the answer about the other occupants, circle option 4 "does not know". When the informant expresses doubts or does not understand the question, mention that a person is indigenous or is recognized as indigenous by these facts:</p>
<div class="i1">[] Descend from native or ancestral populations.<br />[] Preserve the traditions and customs from an indigenous population.</div><p>Remember that indigenous identity is not always related to language; a person can speak some indigenous language and not be considered as indigenous; in the opposite direction, a person can be considered indigenous without speaking a native language. Therefore, if the person mentions he/she cannot speak an indigenous language, ask whether he/she consider himself/herself as indigenous.
