Most "charter groups" became such through conquest, not gradual evolution. They are unusually persistent even when they are a minority. Examples of a conflict where the charter group is contested are where the initial conquest was not effective enough. I can't immediately think of any example where peaceful migration fundamentally overthrows the charter group. The immigrants continually bring new cultural traits which are syncreted (some fancy words for you :) ) onto the existing culture - it changes slowly but doesn't actually switch. The most persistent seem to be language (though it gets some new words) and law tec. For example, it doesn't matter how many descedants of Portuguese live in Brasil but people still speak the language there.
