The Jarawa are one of the adivasi indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands. Their present numbers are estimated at between 250-350 individuals. Since they have largely shunned interactions with outsiders, many particulars of their society, culture and traditions are poorly understood. Their name means "foreigners" or "hostile people" in Aka-Bea.

A nice collection of photos, even though I have seen some of these photos elsewhere. None of these pics should be tagged African though - the Andaman Islands, and hence the Jarrawa are regarded as being part of India, not Africa.
