Produktbeschreibung
Indigenous peoples throughout the world have their own identity and their close association with nature had enabled them to develop a vast series of indigenous knowledge systems. Indigenous People is the term used in the international front for what the Scheduled Tribes are under the Indian Constitution. Tribes of India and Chhattisgarh state as well are recognized for their own specificity in terms of their culture, tradition, lifestyle and indigenous knowledge. This book lays emphasis on indigenous knowledge and its present day prevalent practices among two tribal communities, viz. Hill Korwas (A Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group) and Gonds (a major tribal group of Chhattisgarh) residing in Surguja district, Chhattisgarh state in Central India. The approach of this book is holistic and a comparative description of the indigenous knowledge of young and old people of both tribes is illustrated here.
