They depend on their surroundings due to not cultivating.
Women wear bright, bright colors.
At any age, all members of the tribe also contribute to the community, from cutting trees to picking nuts.
The Raute people are nomadic, often traveling.No one in the tribe has a hired job or school.
As people who live by hunting and gathering tens of thousands of years ago, the role of each member of the tribe is divided by gender.In the picture, women are picking seeds and cooking.
The Raute are very good at making wooden items.They use them in exchange for clothes and supplies when needed.
There is very little information about this tribe, because they live separately and rarely interact with local people.
The difficult life of the Raute people became more and more difficult due to the changing environment.That means they have to move more often.
In recent years, when forests have been narrowed, they have been forced to interact with local people more.
Traditionally, the Raute people in tents were built from leaves and twigs, covered with colorful cloths to cope with the weather.
