Without looking I am going to says Basques.

That would make a lot of sense but…. somehow the Basques don’t count.

We have plenty of indigenous people. They are united in their demand for English.

“somehow the Basques don’t count”
Because the Basques are citizens of modern countries and don’t live in pre-industrial conditions.
This declaration is very racist in that ‘indigenous’ means ‘primitive’…. (they would never put it that way, but… it’s what they mean.

That actually helps. Because it makes zero sense that nobody else is indigenous to Europe. All of us had to come from somewhere, so where is it?

Back in the 1990s? Earlier? They started talking about unassimilated minorities (mostly pre-industrial) as ‘the Fourth World’ (after the first, second and third ones). I think this is a holdover from that.
And the last I knew the proto Indo-European language was thought to have most likely first been spoken in the area in of Eastern Slovakia/Hungary or Western Ukraine (south of Lviv and west of Vinnicja).

“All of us had to come from somewhere, so where is it?”
Nobody knows, the Basque language is unrelated to any Indo-European language. Their blood is strange, about half type O (with an unusually high proportion of Rh-negative). Their leg bones are also unusually longer, and green and hazel eyes are notably more common. Some anthropogists back when I was in university actually figured that they might be a Cro-Magnon relict

True, the Basques are weird. But what about the rest of us? Me, you. Where do we come from? What are we indigenous to?

If you have to bet, pick Africa, but don’t bet on the farm ;-D
The capability of retrieving DNA from fossils changed everything. The phylogenetic “tree” now resembles a bush, with once supposed extinct species now re-emerging to cross and recross — a hybridized species.

“Indian, I think”
Definitely India. The language(s) are clearly related to NW Indic languages.
The question is how they got out of the sub-continent.
My favorite theory is that they were camp followers who followed a group and then found themselves separated from them and then headed west rather than back east.
This tracks well with the professions they’re known for (tinkering, small scale trade, entertaining, prostitution) and is not incompatible with opportunistic theft against locals as they move.
Indian origin also tracks with things like ritual purity (a major concern) and a sort of semi-formal caste guild system (maybe closer to family-based guilds).

So the white people passionately doing land acknowledgements in america really have nowhere to go even if they gave up their claim to the land and flee to europe lol.
White people really are a magic race of people who came from nowhere. Maybe the hoteps were right all along: the white race must’ve been created in a lab on an island by a wizard named Yakub.
