Indigenes are native (indigenous). Naturels possess citizenship that naturally descends from the contition of the father. Natural-born combines them both because both conditions are always included in any description of natural-born citizenship from those who were in a position to know and understand, from Founders to early Supreme Court justices to the authors of the 14th Amendment.

Native refers to the soil in which one is born, Natural is what is passed to the child from the father/parents aka descent as in inherit. It stymes the mind why this is so hard for the obamatrons to understand.

another interesting fact is that in the Federalist papers, the Natives who are not citizens are referred to as inhabitants. Vattel § 213. Inhabitants:

The inhabitants, as distinguished from citizens, are foreigners, who are permitted to settle and stay in the country. Bound to the society by their residence, they are subject to the laws of the state while they reside in it; and they are obliged to defend it, because it grants them protection, though they do not participate in all the rights of citizens. They enjoy only the advantages which the law or custom gives them. The perpetual inhabitants are those who have received the right of perpetual residence. These are a kind of citizens of an inferior order, and are united to the society without participating in all its advantages. Their children follow the condition of their fathers; and, as the state has given to these the right of perpetual residence, their right passes to their posterity.
