'Indigenous' is a political term that has no clear meaning.

Clear enough for me: “...1640s, from Late Latin indigenus "born in a country, native,"...”

Are Polish people indigenous?

According to Wikipedia on Indigenous peoples:

"culturally distinct ethnic groups who are native to a place which has been colonised and settled by another ethnic group"

So, I guess, we would have been, if e.g. Germans had won the second world war.

I would say the cultural distinction between poles and germans is too small.
