Native Planet offers you a personal introduction to traditional people and a unique chance to share
in their daily life. Candid, fascinating photographs and intimate descriptions showcase individuals rather than nameless faceless “cultures,” helping you experience the old ways we work to preserve.
| Kalbeliya and Bopa
Mesmerizing green-eyed beauty is common among these talented dancers and musicians, members of the lowest castes in India. |
| Bhil and Bishnoi
The Bhil, accomplished warriors and hunters, and their gentle vegetarian Bishnoi neighbors, are thrown together by their struggle for survival in the harsh Rajasthani desert. |
| Mentawai
Unique in the amazing preservation of the old ways by remote jungle clans, the traditional Mentawai culture includes tattooing, shamanism and an ancient animist spirituality. |
