Indigenization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indigenization is the act of making something more indigenous; transformation of some service, idea, etc. to suit a local culture, especially through the use of more indigenous people in public administration, employment and other fields.[1]
For a policy in the Soviet Union, see Korenizatsiia.
The term is primarily used by anthropologists to describe what happens when locals take something from the outside and make it their own (such as: Africanization or Americanization).[2]
