Description | The video contains a documentation of Kinnaur Tribe of Himachal Pradesh. The Kinnaurs - Nomadic sheep rearers of Himachal Pradesh, North India. They are traditional sheep rearers and yet exhibit an indomitable courage that braves the harshest of environments. The film includes another indigenous sustainable technology – canals made of grass and mud that carry melted snow from mountain peaks to the Kinnaura villages below. The Kinnauras believe that this water harvesting system is not man made, but was built by the gods and Lamas they believe in. This brought forth-another interesting dimension of religion as a medium for the propagation of indigenous wisdom. |
