The Garasia people prefer traditional medicine to modern medicine because they believe in using medicinal plants. The institution of marriage gives supremacy to manhood in tribal culture, but the Garasia people are more into practices that give equality to both sides.

Banjaras are numerous nomadic tribes found in different parts of west India, moving from place to place and living their lives according to their own set of rules. The banker tribes are thought to be descendants of European Roma gypsies who migrated 2300 years ago through the rugged mountains of Afghanistan to settle in the deserts of Rajasthan and other Indian states. The Banjara Tribe is well-known in India, as they inhabit the majority of the country's states. They're known for their brightly colored outfits with a plethora of accessories.

These tribes are said to be linked to European gypsies who migrated from India, according to anthropologists. According to other studies, the Banjara, Lamani, and Lambada tribes are actually members of the Kshatriya Gorvamshiya family. It was discovered that the Gorvamshiyas' Gor community is at the root of the Indus culture.

The Drokpa are a tribe of about 4,000 souls living on the Ladakh Plateau, at the crossroads of China, India and Pakistan. Their cultural heritage is unique, yet endangered.

The indigenous peoples of New Guinea, commonly called Papuans, are Melanesians (predominant and indigenous people of Melanesia). There is genetic evidence for two major historical lineages in New Guinea and neighboring islands.

The Ahir were reportedly one of the Central Asian immigrant tribes who arrived in India during the early Christian period. For centuries, the Ahir have been a strictly occupational caste, drawn primarily from indigenous tribes. Ahirs and many forest tribes have a close relationship because cattle must graze in the forest during hot weather. Since they live in Gond villages, many Ahir in Mandla are barely considered Hindus (a forest tribe).

The timing of arrival of the first populations on the continent and surrounding islands is a matter of debate among scientists. Mungo Man LM3 and Mungo Lady, which have been dated to about 50,000 years BP, are the oldest definitively human remains discovered in Australia. A date as early as 65,000 BP is indicated by recent archaeological findings from the study of charcoal and artifacts revealing human use. As far back as 60,000 years BP, luminescence dating has indicated habitation in Arnhem Land. Fire evidence in South-West Australia suggests "human presence in Australia 120,000 years ago"

Within the broader designation of Torres Strait Islander people, there are five distinct populations, based partially on geographical and cultural divisions. As a language of trade and commerce, there are two main indigenous language groups, Kalaw Lagaw Ya and Meriam Mir, and Torres Strait Creole is also widely spoken. Papuan-Austronesian, and traditionally a seafaring nation, is the core of island culture. Especially in sculpture, printmaking and mask-making, there is a strong artistic culture.

The Raikas are a pastoral group who herd camels, goats, and sheep in Rajasthan. They live in small groups on the outskirts of villages and alternate between crop production and pastoralism during the summer rains. Raikas are mainly non-migratory, living in small herds of around 100 animals of various breeds.

The Maasai are one of the most well-known African ethnic groups, thanks to their distinct traditions, customs, and style, as well as their proximity to many of East Africa's national game parks.

In the Sahel, they are historically nomadic cattle herders and traders. 1st In 2001, the Wodaabe population was estimated to be 100,000.  They're known for their ornate clothing and intricate cultural rituals. The Wodaabe place a high value on beauty and charm because it is so important to their culture. When it comes to forming relationships, it is the man's duty to gain a woman's attention. As a result, men will devote a significant amount of time, money, and effort to improving their appearance.

Kayapo, also written Caiapó or Kaiapó, is a word from neighboring peoples that means "those who look like monkeys." It was coined in the early 1800s. This name is most likely derived from a Kayapó men's custom that involves monkey masks. 

 Often known as the "early environmentalists", they follow the 29 precepts laid down in 1485 by their guru Jambheswhar, founder of the Bishnoi faith (Bish from 20 and Noi from 9 in Hindi.)
