The different tribes living in Bastar, Chattisgarh are as follows :
Gonds : Gond Tribes are primarily located in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and western Orissa. The Gonds are traditionally agriculturalists and some practice shifting cultivation. Other major activities include collecting forest produce, fishing, hunting, forging metal goods.
Abhuj-Maria : These tribes can be found mainly in the deep forests of Narayanpur Tehsil of Bastar district. Abhuj Marias speak a Dravidian language called Abujmaria. They choose to live in isolation and avoid intermingling with outsiders. It is believed that they shoot down strangers with their arrows and so are very feared by outsiders.
Bison Horn Maria : They mainly reside in Jagdalpur Tehsil of Chhattisgarh. They also practice shifting cultivation and collect forest produce for survival. Like Abhuj Marias, they do not plough the earth, as it would mean inflicting pain on her body.
Halbaa : In Chhattisgarh, they are mainly found in Bastar, Raipur and Durg districts. Perhaps the name ‘Halbaa’ has been derived from the Hindi word ‘Hal’, the plough, which goes on to prove that they are primarily agriculturists.
Dhurvaa : they rank second in the hierarchy of the Bastar tribals, after the Bhatras. They are very caste conscious and do not mix with tribes of lower status. The practice of polygamy is quite common. Normally, men occupy themselves with hunting, agriculture and protection of the family.
Muria : The Murias live in the plains. Their primary activities are agriculture and collection of minor forest produce. Murias have several totems and several gods of villages and tribal sub-groups. They are highly superstitious and strongly believe in sorcery.
Bhatra : The Bhatras are known for their unique costumes and traditions. Women enjoy a high status and the Bhatra girls have full freedom to choose their husbands or live with a partner of their choice. Like other tribals, they consume liquor, fruits and animal food.
Hope this helps...
