Andaman Islands Natives Video Site
Jarawa Tribe

 

 

 

Reaching land

Like a swarm of crickets, the Jarawas fall upon the visiting boat that is loaded with coconuts. Note the speed with which the red headscarfs of the indian visitors are being taken away, as Jarawas are fond of red coloured tissues. Nevertheless, no rivalry can be observed in-between the Jarawas themselves, as all the yield will be shared by the whole group.
