Description
Baiga, the 'forest people', are one of the few remaining tribes of India that are yet to completely amalgamate with mainstream society. Categorised as one of India’s primitve tribal groups, they have retained many aspects of their traditons and culture. Today, the largest setlement of the Baiga is in the Baiga Chak, a 100 sq km area carved out by the Britsh in 1890. The 52 villages spread across the Bajag, Karanjiya and Samnapur blocks of Dindori district constitute the Baiga Chak. However, deep within the confines of the forest, there are villages that remain cut off from even these dirty roads. Being so far removed from civilizaton, these villages have remained largely
untouched by the world outside. Thus, this report will address an importance issue to document the tribe, along with its intangible cultural heritage.
