How are they descended from the earliest settlers if European ancestry is not listed? I read the same Wiki article but only just picked up on this now. That these non-European groups were slaves and (much later) foreign workers only further cements the status of the Europeans as the original settlers of these islands.

Basically European settlers were a small group of people, who took with them a huge amount of people to work as slaves. Eventually, the small group of Europeans left, but the slaves were still there, turned workers and into the population who lived there.

Eventually though, the UK government came back again, and forcefully removed these people who weren't natives before, but essentially because of forced re-population by colonizers became the natives. Now they want access to the land they were forcefully migrated to, after being removed from it.
