A good friend who specializes in native plants uses 'native' and 'indigenous' 
pretty interchangeably to describe plants that were growing in the Americas 
before European settlement.  That strikes me as a good, practical sticking 
point.  Indigenous peoples did their share of moving about, no doubt carrying 
seed and/or plants with them in many cases, but I can't imagine how anyone 
would pinpoint that sort of introduction.
Nature constantly moves plants and seeds many miles, by water, by air, by 
birds, etc.  Are we not part of nature?  I often think our species has 
entirely too high an opinion of our own capacity and influence.
