If you define it as "didn't come from somewhere else" then it's a meaningless term since everyone outside parts of Africa came from somewhere else.

The UN definition is explicitly about colonization, which makes sense, i.e. some people arrived, then some other people came and took over.

Yeah, he doesn't have a leg to stand on with the UN declaration.

You mean the declaration that was voted on by all UN members and supported by an overwhelming majority, including (eventually) NZ under John Key?

Yeah doesn't hold any water....
