Answer 1

1:Tribals are the group of people who are not well civilised and they are totally dependent on the forests for their survival. They live in the areas difficult to reach like- deserts with extremely hot climate or cold deserts with extremely cold climate. The people are usually pastorals, hunters and gatherers, they use the animal's skin for making carpets, blankets etc and later they sell these to the market to get some money.
