Around the world thousands of indigenouse tribes live with different cultures and beliefs. Different actions and understanding that make each tribe unique. Many people stay limited while studying inigenouse tribes only in Brazil, but there’s so much beyond that.
One example would be the AINU tribe that is located in the north of Japan, in Hokkaido. They have an estimated population of 25 thousand people, and that number continues to grow as the tribe develops. They are dependent on hunting, foraging and Fishing, even though they can only hunt for specific animals, as they see animals as sacred individuals. A statement done by one of the integrants of the tribe can show more about this idea in depth “We captured the bears as cubs and raised them as members of the family. They shared our food and lived in our village. When the time came, we returned one to the wild, and killed the other for food.” The AINU people in some situations had to hide their ethnicity in some way because of accusations and overwhelming attacks by the Japanese domain, even though they were the first population present in the region. .
Adivasi-Tribales (India)
Another Tribe that can be recognized in the world is the Adivasi Tribales. Their tribe is essential for exploring minerals, wood and constructions. They make up for 30% of India’s population. In the Tribales tribes their big quantity of land invasions, causing loss of biodiversity and exploration of minerals. They are present in a big range of states that include Kerala, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Mizoram. In the past years there were different projects of laws to try and protect the rights of the Tribales. Unfortunately their population has been greatly affected by the modernization, as they are extremely dependent on the natural resources that are being deforested.
Aborigenes (Australia)
The Aborigines are another tribe that have greater representation in the world. They are from Australia and make up for 1% of the population. They can live in the desert or in small communities around Australia. Unfortunately, lots of them can’t sustain themselves with formal jobs, as they do not have experience or education for the area. One of their main sources of income comes from the playing of a traditional instrument named didgeridoo that they play on the roads of Australia.
