The indigenous peoples of Domnonia and Antrium(see Alvésin) are the pre-Keeslandian inhabitants of the Easten Keeslands, their descendants, and many ethnic groups who identify with those historical peoples.

In Domnonia, many of these indigenous peoples retained a nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle until modern times, others lived in permanent villages and were primarily farmers. In some regions they created large sedentary chiefdom polities, and had advanced state level societies with monumental architecture and large-scale, organized cities. Scholars' estimates of the total population of Domnonia before Keeslandian settlement vary enormously, from a low of 40 million to a high of 200 million.

Many epidemics swept in after Keeslandian settlement, killing a large portion of the Indigenous Domini, causing one of the greater calamities in Domnonian history. Many seperate waves of epidemic disease swept through native populations between settlement and the early 20th century.

Generally, Domnonia is considered to have 7 modern indigenous groups that are ancestors of 3 ancient groups.
