Tourism which includes tribal habitat, heritage, history and handicrafts, typically involves small tourism businesses owned by tribes or families. Tourism focused on indigenous knowledge of culture and nature. Modern India has many indigenous tribes, that even today, have retained their primitive customs and their lives are directly associated with their natural surroundings. In this light, this chapter discusses tribal tourism in India. Learning outcomes This chapter provides an overview of tribes and tourism in India and its importance. After reading the chapter you will be able to understand the following: What tribal tourism is, Major Tribes of India Significance of tribal tourism in India Major tribal destinations in India 1.0 Introduction to Tribes and Tourism Different terms used to describe Indigenous groups include Ethnic minorities (China, Vietnam, Philippines); Tribes (Africa, Americas); Hill tribes (Thailand); Dcheduled Tribes or adivasis (India); Native American, Indian or Amerindian (North and South America); Indigenes (Latin America); Aboriginal (Australia, Canada, Taiwan) and First Nations (Canada). The United Nations defines Indigenous or tribal communities, peoples and nations as those having „a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories‟, are distinct from other settler groups and want to „preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity‟. This historical continuity is based on occupation of ancestral lands, common ancestry, cultural practices and language. Indigenous people are also economically and culturally marginalized and often live in extreme poverty. A tribe is viewed, historically or developmentally, as a social group existing before the development of, or outside of states. Many anthropologists used the term, tribal society, to refer to societies organized largely on the basis of kinship, especially corporate descent groups. 2 Tribal tourism is a showcase of tribal life, art, culture and heritage. Tribal tourism enables interaction between the tourists and the local residents for an enriching experience. In his 1975 study, The Notion of the Tribe, anthropologist Morton H. Fried provided numerous examples of tribes the members of which spoke different languages and practiced different rituals, or that shared languages and rituals with members of other tribes. Similarly, he provided examples of tribes where people followed different political leaders, or followed the same leaders as members of other tribes. He concluded that tribes in general are characterized by fluid boundaries and heterogeneity, are not parochial and are dynamic. Indigenous tourist attractions include museums and cultural villages, nature-based tours, Indigenous fairs and festivals or events and art galleries. Cultural, environmental and spiritual aspects of Indigenous heritage and traditions are especially featured in Indigenous tourism. The UN Commission on Sustainable Development highlighted the key role of Indigenous peoples in the conservation of natural areas and species on their lands. Indigenous people comprise five percent of the world‟s population but embody 80% of the world‟s cultural diversity. They are estimated to occupy 20% of the world‟s land surface but nurture 80% of the world‟s biodiversity on ancestral lands and territories. India has a large number of tribal people who still belong to a social set-up, of which very little is known. These tribes who stay in different parts of the country are still to come out of their traditional way of life and join the mainstream. Not-with-standing this apparent aloofness, these tribes are very much a part of Indian society. Having a culture and tradition that is distinctly different from others, the tribes still occupy the yet to be discovered horizons. Modern India has many indigenous tribes, that even today, have been able to retain their primitive customs and their lives are directly associated with their natural surroundings. The tribals in India, are the pro-environmental communities who are fighting to protect rivers, lands and forests that are the sources of their livelihood. The congruity that exists between local tribal and Nature only helps in making tribal territories full of exotic bio- diversities. In the western part of the country, in Rajasthan and Gujarat one can witness a way of life that is colorful, while in South India, the skillful craftsmanship of Todas of Nilgiri Hills will fascinate. Their pastoral way of life clearly brings out the beauty in simplicity. In Central India, in the picturesque Jharkhand, you will get to see the Santhals and the tribals of Bastar. The Santhals are one of the oldest tribals living in India. Again, the north-eastern tribes of India are known for their traditional songs and dances, their colorful handmade clothing and intricately woven bamboo handicrafts. There are often more to be seen than what meet the eyes. The tribal society is always a thing of great interest. With a well chalked out tour to any of these places you will be able to explore the roots of a multicultural and multilingual India, where unity in diversity is the essence of national spirit. 2.0 Tribes of India Muria: The people of Muria tribe are inhabitants of Bastar district in the state of Chhattisgarh. They are relatively prosperous when compared to other tribes in the district. They are self sufficient in producing chickpeas, dal and lentils. The tribe follows pre-marital sex. The youth are expected to engage in sexual activities while they are discouraged to become emotionally attached to the sex partner. The Muria tribe worships village and clan deities. Korwa: People of Korwa tribe live in the hills and forests of Chhoanagpur, Chhattisgarh. The Korwa community consists of four sub groups namely Agaria Korwa, Dam Korwa, Dih Korwa and Pahar Korwa. All four sub groups worship the same deity named Dih. People of Korwa tribe speak Korba language, which is also known as Ernga, Singli and Bhashi. Kamar: Kamar is one of the tribes in India who lives in the Raipur and Rewa districts of Madhya Pradesh. Their local language is called Kamar.

Father and all females of one family live together in a hut, whereas boys live in separate huts at the entrance of their village. They were forced to take up basket weaving as their occupation after the British declared their forests as reserves. The Juang people worshipped forest spirits in the olden days. The contemporary Juang people worship Laksmi and are considered as a Hindu caste with basket- making as occupation. Bhumij: The people of Bhumij tribe can be found in the Indian states of Assam, Jhakhand, Odisha and West Bengal. They speak Mundari language. The term Bhumij means one who is born from soil.

    SIXTH SEMESTER (HONS) PAPER: DSE3T/ UNIT-I TRIBES IN INDIA Brief History: The tribal population is found in almost all parts of the world. India is one of the two largest concentrations of tribal population. The tribal community constitutes an important part of Indian social structure. Tribes are earliest communities as they are the first settlers. The tribal are said to be the original inhabitants of this land. These groups are still in primitive stage and often referred to as Primitive or Adavasis, Aborigines or Girijans and so on. The tribal population in India, according to 2011 census is 8.6%. At present India has the second largest population in the world next to Africa. Our most of the tribal population is concentrated in the eastern (West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand) and central (Madhya Pradesh, Chhattishgarh, Andhra Pradesh) tribal belt. Among the major tribes, the population of Bhil is about six million followed by the Gond (about 5 million), the Santal (about 4 million), and the Oraon (about 2 million). Tribals are called variously in different countries. For instance, in the United States of America, they are known as ‘Red Indians’, in Australia as ‘Aborigines’, in the European countries as ‘Gypsys’ , in the African and Asian countries as ‘Tribals’. The term ‘tribes’ in the Indian context today are referred as ‘Scheduled Tribes’. These communities are regarded as the earliest among the present inhabitants of India. And it is considered that they have survived here with their unchanging ways of life for centuries. Many of the tribals are still in a primitive stage and far from the impact of modern civilization.

The others are Indo-Aryan (of Indo-European), Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman and Andamanese. The term 'Austroasiatic’ comes from the Latin word for south and the Greek name of Asia, hence South Asia. The speakers of this family are scattered across south and South-east Asia, starting from central and eastern parts of India spreading to Bangladesh, Burma, southern China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, South and North Vietnam and Malaysia. The languages of this family are generally grouped into three sub- branches, namely, Munda, Nicobarese and Mon-Khmer. However some scholars include Nicobarese within Mon-Khmer. While the Munda sub-branch is wholly located in the Indian-subcontinent, Mon- Khmer branch is found in most of South-east Asia starting with eastern India. The family comprises about 150 languages, most of them having numerous dialects and the speakers numbering more than 100 million.

The following ad supports maintaining our C.E.E.O.L. service doi: 10.7592/FEJF2014.56.berezkin THE DOG, THE HORSE AND THE CREATION OF MAN Yuri Berezkin Abstract: A story that described the creation of man became known to at least some inhabitants of the Eurasian Steppe zone not later than the early II millennia B.C. Not a fragment of it survived across most of this area, and our reconstruc- tion is based on the evidence from the areas to the north and to the south of the Steppe Belt. The texts in question share many specific details and the probability of their independent emergence looks negligible. At the same time the people to whom the story was familiar in the 19th and 20th century could definitely not have borrowed it from each other in recent times. The only way to reconstruct the mythology of the people who lived in the past is a search of its survivals in the later folklore. The analysis of ancient iconography or scraps of evidence preserved in the early written sources is not enough for the reconstruction of the plots of complex tales. Keywords: creation myth, creation of man A story that described the creation of man became known to at least some in- habitants of the Eurasian Steppe zone not later than the early II millennia B.C.

First, the category of scheduled tribes is contested in social science discourse. Second, forest and tribal policy in India is not adequatelysensitive to value systems of local communitiesand this creates considerable contestation between administrationand the local people.
