| Description | The video contains a documentation of Birhor Tribe of Bihar. The Birhor Community, hunting and food gathering tribe of Bihar, Central India. Living in leaf huts called kumbhas, the Birhor maintain their close links with nature and still rely on hunting and food gathering as a mode of subsistence. The film gives glimpses of community members on their expeditions to obtain honey; hunting small animals; and identifying and gathering edible fruits, stems, leaves, roots and medicinal herbs. The futility of the imposition of modern ideas of civilisation on indigenous peoples is also brought home by including the derelict situation of some Birhors who have been provided cement houses by government schemes. |
