Indigenization

[2] The first use of the word indigenization recorded by the OED is in a 1951 paper about studies conducted in India about Christian missionaries.

[citation needed] In this context, indigenization is used to refer to how a language is adopted in a certain area such as French in Africa.

Five-year jail terms are assigned to foreigners who do not submit an indigenisation plan or use natives as fronts for their businesses.

[6] The intent of the law is to ensure the country's indigenous members fulfill a more prominent role in the economy.

Indigenous Zimbabweans are defined as "any person who, before the 18th April, 1980 [when Zimbabwe gained independence from Britain], was disadvantaged by unfair discrimination on the grounds of his or her race, and any descendant of such person, and includes any company, association, syndicate or partnership of which indigenous Zimbabweans form the majority of the members or hold the controlling interest".

At the time of the law passing, the ruling party in Zimbabwe was Zanu-PF, led by the president Robert Mugabe.

[6] Federal government organizations like the Geographical Names Board of Canada may change already existing place names with feedback and action from provincial and local authorities as well as accepting submissions for change from the public via accessible forms.

Indigenous names may become revived as a result, notable examples include Sanirajak, Kinngait, qathet, Haida Gwaii, and the Salish Sea.
