Taking a close look at their history and population characteristics, it discusses at length their habitat, settlement patterns, dress and ornaments, material culture, livelihood practices, cultivation, means of transport and communication, and religious practices. The issue of tribal rights on forest and wild life conservation has also been addressed.
