Inuit infants are carried by their mothers in an amautik for the first year or two of their lives.
An amautik was traditionally made from caribou fur, with the fur facing in, so the baby lay in its comfort and warmth. Today, they are also made from duffel and other materials.
‘After feeding, the baby girl dozes. With words of welcome, she is lifted into the amautik, the pouch shaped into the hood of her mother’s parka, where she can lie curved against her mother’s back. The baby’s mother smiles, holding her daughter for her father to adore, and says, ‘Anaanangai. Ii, anaanagauvutit.’ ‘Mother? Yes, you’re my mother.’ … For she is a baby who carries the atiq, the spirit and name, of her late grandmother.’
Hugh Brody, from The Other Side of Eden: Hunters, Farmers, and the Shaping of the World.

Search tips
Combine the name of any particular state, language or region with that of any tribal (Adivasi) community.
Add keywords of special interest (music, poetry, dance just as health, sacred grove and biodiversity); learn about the rights of Scheduled Tribes such as the “Forest Rights Act” (FRA); and the United Nations “Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”, “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”, “women’s rights”, or “children’s right to education”.
Ask a question that includes “tribal” or “Adivasi”, for instance: “Adivasi way of life better?” (or “tribal way of life worse?”)
Specify any particular issue or news item (biodiversity, bonded labour and human trafficking, climate change, ecology, economic development, ethnobotany, ethnomedicine, global warming, hunter-gatherers in a particular region or state, prevention of rural poverty, water access).
For official figures include “scheduled tribe ST” along with a union state or region: e.g. “Chhattisgarh ST community”, “Himalayan tribe”, “Scheduled tribe Tamil Nadu census”, “ST Kerala census”, “Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group Jharkhand”, “PVTG Rajasthan”, “Adivasi ST Kerala”, “Adibasi ST West Bengal” etc.
