Dongria Kondh Tribe, Odhisa. Also known as 'The real Avatar Tribe', Yes, the 2009 multi billion blockbuster film Avatar made by James Cameron was based on the struggle and culture this tribal group. It was threatened few years ago because of a mining industry project. In 2006, A British private mining company Vedanta set up a factory in Lanjigarg to extract Bauxite with partnership as a joint venture to Odhisa Mining Corporation. The openpit mining and refinery caused negative impact on the environment, the Brown residual liquid polluted the streams of this tribal homeland. Deforestation occurred and many new diseases among locals erupted. Dongria gather almost 200 different foods from their forests and harvest over a hundred crops from their fields. They follow Sarna relegion and speak Kui language. If their lands would be misused the whole community can be threatened for survival in few more years, and with capitalism exploitation comes inevitably. The tribe vowed to save their Niyamgiri Hills and their self-sufficient way of life. So In 2013 the Supreme Court of India ordered the Odisha Government to consult the local tribespeople, citing the protection afforded to the rights of tribal and forest groups under the Forest Rights Act 2006.  Photo by @franceleclerc (Culture and Documentary Photography) www.franceleclerc.com #tribalrights #tribalculture #protest #forestrights #odhisa #dongrikondh #bhubaneshwar #tribals #landrights #tribaltattoo #iamatribal #avatar #culture #nature #incredibleindia #tribesofindia #development #lifestyle #indigenious #jharkhand #peace #diversity #anthropology #conservation
